Sometimes it is necessary to modify the kernel command-line of the
image, this adds support for a [customizations.kernel] section to the
blueprint:
[customizations.kernel]
append = "nosmt=force"
This will be appended to the kickstart's bootloader --append argument.
Includes tests for modifying the bootloader line, the kickstart
template, and examining the final-kickstart.ks created for a compose.
(cherry picked from commit 59464286f9)
Anaconda, Lorax, lorax-composer, and livemedia-creator can all now run
with SELinux in Enforcing mode. It does not need to be disabled and if
there are denials they should be reported as a bug.
Log the current state of SELinux when starting, update the
documentation.
If we leave the root account w/o a password people will use it that way,
leading to insecure images. Also if we use a default password. So lock
the root account in the templates.
Users will need to do one of these things:
1. Use [[customizations.user]] in their blueprint to configure root or
another user.
2. Use [[customizations.sshkey]] to set a key for root
2. Install a package that configures a user at install time
3. Install a package that sets up a user at boot time (eg. cloud-init)
This also drops the auth line from the kickstart templates, allowing it
to use the default password algoritm instead of md5.
