Re: OpenSSH update
 

I don't see any need in one more dialog, but I can add 'cancel' button to this one.
Hovewer, I'm pretty sure that most of users would press it even if they didn't change their password yet and magic will not happen - they will not be able to login.
What do you think?

Re: OpenSSH update
 

The info text in this dialog should mention that you are not able to login if the root password wasn't set. And I think that people who want to use ssh to control the internet tablet as root, should be able to read three lines!

Perhaps you should also mention that the password shouldn't be too short... ssh could be a security problem.

Re: OpenSSH update
 

May be. But I still think most of them will not read even those three lines :)

Re: OpenSSH update
 

IMHO sshd should, by default, disable root login and only allow user login with keys (i.e. disable password authentication). That's how I configured mine anyway.

Re: OpenSSH update
 

In this case you have to deal with R&D mode and becomeroot. My idea with changing password was to give user opportunity to login without it and then configure system as she wants.

Then you'll always have to use the ssh client on the tablet to get the keys into the system into the first place. This may be inconvenient and impossible (say, if the computer you're planning to log in from doesn't run an ssh server) for many users.
Personally I think this is ideal:
