Coming from the old school.. I had this initial reaction.. I am letting a root login from a system on the internet.. but then I realized that in reality this does not seem any less secure than the puppet or similar setups. If the ssh key is "gotten" it is no less a problem than if the puppet ssl keys are gotten, and possibly less likely to be auditable. I think in this case a look at why you feel uncomfortable needs to be written out a bit more to make sure if it is a "well we didn't think of that scenario" or a "well for 10+ years I have made sure ssh wasn't root loggable or autopassworded in and this makes me feel icky." type feeling. > Thanks for bringing this to our attention. > > Regards, > > Tristan > > -- > Tristan Santore BSc MBCS > TS4523-RIPE > Network and Infrastructure Operations > InterNexusConnect > Mobile +44-78-55069812 > Tristan.Santore@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Former Thawte Notary > (Please note: Thawte has closed its WoT programme down, > and I am therefore no longer able to accredit trust) > > For Fedora related issues, please email me at: > TSantore@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > _______________________________________________ > infrastructure mailing list > infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure -- Stephen J Smoogen.
