Setting up an SSH server on @dotcloud docker CentOS image

setup.sh

# Install OpenSSH server and SSH client
yum install -y openssh-server
yum install -y openssh-clients

# Install passwd
yum install -y passwd

# Set root password
passwd
# TODO: Enter new root password
# TODO: Repeat new root password

# Test ssh
ssh root@localhost

# Enter root password when prompted
# ERROR: Connection to localhost closed.
# ERROR: Exit status 254

PAM setting is not needed +1

PAM setting is still needed (Docker 1.4, phusion/baseimage:latest). -1

For automating the passwd part

( sleep .1 ; printf "%s\n" "password" "password" ) | passwd

Then password could be easily editable through other means using Jinja during deployment or something...
