1 I don't see a problem with setting sshd on by default. We would need
2 some method to allow for a password to be set at boot. Personally, I
3 think there should be a dopassword=<password> option to the CD. This
4 way, the password is still scrambled if the user doesn't specify one on
5 the command line, and also allows for someone to enter one at boot
6 time. This way, we don't end up with CDs with blank passwords being
7 used for root. After all, isn't that the reason we starting scrambling
8 the password in the first place?
