I'll start an install on a computer in another room, and when I can ping its static IP, I can SSH in and work on it (I don't have to walk back and forth, checking on it periodically or do any more configuration at the console). If that is the desired case, then you might as well: - disable sshd by default - set "PermitRootLogin no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config by default - remove the SSH opening in the firewall -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
