<AppleMuncy>
Bonjour, je peux lire un peu en français.

<alkisg>
Hi AppleMuncy
19:40
I think sebd speaks french?
19:40
Me, only Greek and English :)
19:42
<AppleMuncy>
I was responding to sebd : )
19:43
<alkisg>
Heh, sebd was responding to Hessef
19:52
<AppleMuncy>
And since you are here, alkisg, I think I have been having trouble with my install of ltsp because I was running 'ltsp dnsmaq' before 'ltsp image /'.  Now it seems I can not find the page that it should be the reverse of that.
19:55
<alkisg>
AppleMuncy: on the very first time, ltsp dnsmasq will complain if /srv/ltsp isn't there (and ltsp nfs too)
19:55
In later invocations, there's no issue with ordering
19:57
<AppleMuncy>
Goot to know the reason  : )
19:58
I see now first example in https://ltsp.org/man/ltsp/ fits my situation well.
19:59
Good, that is : )
20:00
So I looked at LDAP and got scared off from using it for identity and authentication.
20:14
I do like keeping things simple and low maintenance.
20:14
So here is what I'm thinking:
20:14
Create users on the ltsp server with 'adduser' with generated password.
20:14
Give the user the login and password.
20:14
Tell them to log on a client workstation.
20:14
Teach them to create public,private keys in ~/.ssh   and add public key to authorized_keys.
20:14
ssh to the ltsp server, change their password there, and run a suid root script that runs 'ltsp initrd' .
20:15
Log out and restart the laptop that runs the ltsp client.
20:15
Log in with new password.
20:16
<alkisg>
ldap is scary at first, but a simple sssd + openldapmanager is fine
20:16
To allow ssh/sshfs users to change their passwords, set up a wrapper
20:17
That does what you said
20:17
i.e.create ~/.ssh/id_rsa if itdoesn't exist, copy .pub to autorized_keys, and then do passwordless ssh server passwd
20:22
<AppleMuncy>
So I'm asking for our expert advice about the add risks of letting them use a suid root script to propagate the new password?

<AppleMuncy>
And I do plan on working at getting ldap/sssd working.
20:28
<alkisg>
Hmm why suid?
20:28
It's just passwordless ssh as user...
20:36
<AppleMuncy>
Maybe I'm wrong about needing to run 'ltsp initrd' before they can use the new password?
20:49
<alkisg>
passwords are not stored in initrd
20:49
They're only validated via ssh
20:49
they never reach the client
21:06
<AppleMuncy>
Thanks, I'll test it.
