Mission
This project's mission is to eliminate the use of predictable passwords in LXC templates. It all started with BZ 1132001 which attached bug reports to fedora-all, EPEL 7, and EPEL 6. The problem exists upstream and the upstream developers are welcoming fixes.
This is part of the Fedora Security Team's 90-day challenge.
Templates
The upstream templates are on Github. Each template will be documented here as it's reviewed.
| Template | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CentOS |  |
CentOS currently uses randomized root passwords |
| Fedora | |
Fedora currently uses randomized root passwords |
CentOS
No changes needed as randomized root passwords are already applied during build.
Debian
The upstream Debian template current sets root's password to root. There's a [proposed fix https://github.com/major/lxc/commit/6982595560cc3b7e3b47d070c53161633e8a24dd] waiting on feedback from Debian's LXC package maintainer.
Fedora
No changes needed as randomized root passwords are already applied during build.
Ubuntu
The UBuntu template disables the root account but makes a regular user with sudo privileges that has ubuntu as a username and password (unless a user password is specified on the command line during build).
