Description Jan Stodola 2020-08-26 20:35:09 UTC

Description of problem:
While working on bug 1800697, the following updates to the sshd_config.anaconda file were mentioned (see bug 1800697#c23):

* RSAAuthentication is removed
* there is no configuration option KeepAlive
* XAuthLocation is default, Port is default, IgnoreRhosts is default,
  StrictModes is default so not needed to explicitly mention
  [asosedki: unless you explicitly wanted to pin them for some reason]
* PrintMotd should be off as it is printed from pam now

The content of the config file in RHEL-8.3:
[anaconda root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config.anaconda 
Port 22
PermitRootLogin yes
IgnoreRhosts yes
StrictModes yes
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
PrintMotd yes
XAuthLocation /bin/xauth
KeepAlive yes
SyslogFacility AUTHPRIV
RSAAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
PermitEmptyPasswords yes
PermitUserEnvironment yes
[anaconda root@localhost ~]#


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lorax-28.14.54-1.el8

Comment 1 Brian Lane 2020-08-26 23:06:38 UTC

pam in the boot.iso doesn't have the motd module included so PrintMotd should stay set to yes. The other suggested changes look fine.

Comment 2 Brian Lane 2020-08-27 21:32:43 UTC

Upstream PR - https://github.com/weldr/lorax/pull/1064

Comment 7 Jan Stodola 2021-01-20 18:28:49 UTC

Verified together with bug 1872921 (common/sshd_config.anaconda doesn't differ in lorax and lorax-templates-rhel), moving to VERIFIED.
