openssh-server is not configured for developer/server images

[Avik Sil]

After creating a developer image for Pandaboard, trying to ssh the board fails:

$ ssh root@10.199.77.85
Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

But it starts working only after reconfiguring it:

dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server

I think this may be deliberate: if openssh-server is configured when the filesystem is built, you end up with a generated host key in the filesystem tarball which would then be cloned on every platform installed from that tarball.

A possible workaround might be to configure the openssh-server package as part of the linaro-media-create procedure.

As this is the expected behavior also at the Ubuntu side, due comment #1, closing as won't fix for now.

Re-open since it's more problematic for LEG use case and the server rootfs.
The idea is to provide on-first-boot mechanism.
