Package: netcfg
Version: 1.59
Severity: wishlist

I am filing this against the netcfg package, but it might be more
appropriate elsewhere, please clone/forward as needed, thanks.

I am attempting to debug a preseed install on serial console and I
can't just switch to another VC to get the log or run a shell. If I
could access the built-in webserver to access the logs or ssh to run a
shell and poke around, that would help a lot.

I would like a way from the cmdline (or in a preseed file) to start the
webserver and/or ssh. I guess if set it should start these things as
soon as the network is available. Although in my case I use a dhcp
config to grab the preseed and then I use the trick documented in the
manual to rerun netcfg so I can specify a static config. So I guess
maybe these things should be (re)started at the end of each netcfg run?

For ssh you might still want to display the host fingerprint on the
screen and have the user ack that (which could maybe be skipped by
setting a "seen" variable to true?).

Thanks,

There are two suggestions in the bug log: preseeding save-logs and
running network-console. I don't think there's something to do for
netcfg here.

Please reopen if you disagree.

Kind regards and thanks
