I'm looking to add a Kerberos hostkey to a fresh install during the netboot install process. But, it's looking like this might be more work than it's worth. Is there a better way than a custom UDEB or mucking about with debconf? :confused:
Specifically, I'm looking at this section here:
Generally, a script run from the seed file via late_command, cannot interact with the user. If you need to interact, there are generally three options:
Create a custom UDEB that interacts with debconf, and include it with the CD.
Create a 'firstrun' script that executes the first time the system boots, and disables itself on completion.
Access debconf directly within your script.
From this page:

The goal is to not leave a password or active Kerberos credentials laying around while the installer does it's thing. I could go back later to add the krb5.keytab, but that wouldn't be a very interesting solution, now would it? :popcorn:
