# The port to run the ssh daemon on, default 2222
# dropbear_port="2222"

# Where to get the RSA key for dropbear, options are:
#  GENERATE: generate a new one for each initrd run, the public key will be printed during the dracut build process
#            and on boot
#  SYSTEM:   use (convert) the host key from the host system's SSH daemon. This will make the initrd ssh indistinguishable
#            from the running system - this may be a security risk, depending on your threat model, but simplifies
#            your client-side ssh configuration
#  /path/to/dropbear_rsa_key:   an absolute path to an RSA host key, in dropbear format.
# 
# It is recommend that you use the system one, or supply your own.  If using the system key, be aware that an attacker
# that can access your initrd could use the host key to impersonate the running system.  This could allow them to attempt
# an MITM attack.
# dropbear_rsa_key="SYSTEM"

# Location of the list of authorized public keys that can log into the initrd ssh daemon
# Defaults to the authorized_keys list for root.  It may be advantageous to use a different authorized_keys list
#  so that users/machines that can unlock the machine are not necessarily given full root access after boot.
#  Note that root access to the initrd does give an attacker means to provide themselves with root access after boot,
#  especially if they hold the encryption keys to the root drive - choose carefully!
