RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

kickstart to host to a server. replace "ksserver.example.com" by something appropriate for your network.
Description of problem:
When doing a kickstart install, sshd is running and there is no root password, allowing unauthorized entry to the system during installation.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Packages from RHEL 6 Beta x86_64 (DVD iso, 04/14/2010)
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
0. Copy the DVD content to a ftp server (ksserver.example.com)
1. Host an appropriate kickstart file (see attachment) via http on the same host
2. Create a KVM virtual machine and boot it from the RHEL6b DVD iso, add ks=http://ksserver.example.com/ks.filename to the installer CLI
4. When the installer has reached the package install stage, send CTRL+ALT+F2 to the VM and run ifconfig to get the VM's IP (vmIP)
5. Use a terminal on another host to run:
$ ssh root@vmIP
Actual results:
$ ssh root.1.112
