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
The authenticity of host '192.168.1.112 (192.168.1.112)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 5e:c9:75:7d:8b:4e:78:7c:79:bf:1d:98:ed:69:d9:ce.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.112' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
