   Could you please give us the same information as this thread?

   Now uses shadow and md5 passwords
   Removed unncessary packages from the default install
   Will generate ssh keys on initial boot
   Reduced minimum size from 100M to 80M
   General cleanups

   Debian is generating ssh keys on every boot, not just on initial. (Oopsie.) {grin}

   Would also strongly suggest version numbers on distribution images so we know exactly what we've got and what's been added since we last ran the distro wizard.

   Ahh crud.

   rm -f /etc/rcS.d/S59sshkeysfirstboot

   Will get rid of that condition.

   I'll spin through the rest of the hosts and update the default images to fix this.

   Thanks.

   Ok -- SSH keys on reboot is fixed on all the host's default debian image...

   Any thoughts on including a small linode distribution version file with each distro?

   Yes, I think it's an excellent idea!
