For the installer, when using "passwd=" and "dosshd" parameters together, the result is ineffective for ssh login because the sshd isn't modified such that "PermitRootLogin yes" is set. ## Repro - Set up to boot the install CD image for mount via NFS (not related to the root cause, but makes setup easier) - Set up DHCP, TFTP, NFS, etc. for this boot - Use the equivalent of the following PXE-Linux settings to boot - linux /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-4.4.0 - append passwd=foobarbar vga=1 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs initrd=/gentoo.igz cdroot=1 real_root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.248.10:/var/tftp/install dosshd - (note the passwd and dosshd) - Boot some host (qemu-kvm VM, real host, whatever) via these parameters ## Expected result - Boots into the install/livecd image with root's password configured correctly (it does) and sshd start up accepting root's p/w over the network ## Actual result - Boots into the install/livecd image with root's password configured correctly with the *default* sshd config, which prohibits root login through sshd using a password
