Re: live cd password or SSH

Is it needed, the iso boots you into root access by default?   As far as I know it doesn't run sshd.

Yeah  know it does on the local live CD but I want to set it up from my laptop via SSH and wanted to ask what the default livecd password was

Re: live cd password or SSH

There is no difference to upstream:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Instal … ux_via_SSH

As root:
passwd
sshd_config PermitRootLogin yes
systemctl start sshd

There is no default password, you set one before you start the sshd on the livecd.
I don't know what happens, when you just start sshd, most likely you cannot log in then..
