28.Dt CREDS_MSDOS 8
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm creds_msdos
32.Nd automatically add login credentials from MSDOS partition
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Nm
35.Ar start
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39rc.d script allows automatic addition of login credentials during boot
40using a special file found on the MSDOS partition of a bootable image.
41This script is not distributed with the normal system and is only
42included with pre-installed bootable images.
43The goal is to allow remote access of the system without having to
44edit the primary root file system (which may not be accessible from
45the host the image is being written from), but place this information
46in the MSDOS partition that most platforms can easily access.
47.Pp
48Typically, an installable image (such as
49.Pa arm64.img )
50is written to an SD card or similar media, and has both a native FFS
51partition as well as an MSDOS partition for booting.
52If this script is enabled and has been pointed at the boot partition
53it will inspect the file
54.Pa creds.txt
55for any credentials to be added to the system.
56.Pp
57These are the supported options in the credentials files:
58.Bl -tag -compact -width "sshkeyfilepl" -offset indent
59.It Sy sshkeyfile Ar user Ar keyfile
60.It Sy sshkey Ar user Ar keystring
61.It Sy useraddpwhash Ar user Ar pwhash
62.It Sy useradd Ar user Ar password
63.El
64.Pp
65In all cases
66.Ar user
67is the username to be added, and the user will be
68added to the
69.Dq wheel
70group.
71.Pp
72The sshkeyfile method looks in the MSDOS boot partition for
73the specified file and merges ssh keys from this file into
74.Ar user Ap s
75.Pa ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
76file.
77.Pp
78The sshkey method adds the
79.Ar keystring
80to the
81.Ar user Ap s
82.Pa ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
83file.
84.Pp
85The useraddpwhash method uses
86.Ar pwhash
87as the
88.Ar users Ap s
89password hash.
90.Pp
91The above three methods are the preferred methods.
92.Pp
93For the useradd method
94.Ar password
95is an unencrypted raw password that will be hashed and added to the system.
96This method is not recommended as it leaves unencrypted passwords
97around until such time that the script runs.
98If this method is used then the
99.Pa creds.txt
100file will be shredded and deleted using
101.Dq rm -P
102after the credentials are updated.
