Description Jakub Čajka 2015-08-19 14:13:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
sshd fails to start during installation

How reproducible:
Always with Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-23_Alpha.iso
       and  Fedora-Server-DVD-ppc64le-23.iso(Alpha_RC1)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use inst.sshd and inst.sshpw options
2. check logs to see sshd fail and/or try to ssh in to the installation

Actual results:
sshd fails to start

Expected results:
sshd starts and is accessible

Additional info:

First observed on ppc64le investigating other issue, also reproducible on x86_64 alpha Server DVD.

except from /var/log/anaconda/journal.log after successful installation on ppc64le(similar failure is logged on x86_64)

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2015-08-19 15:25:08 UTC 
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 23-beta by Fedora user pbrobinson using the blocker tracking app because:

 I don't believe (but might well be wrong here) this is a blocker but as it affects anaconda and makes debuging of installs hard I'm requesting a exception to ensure it's suitably tracked
Comment 2 David Shea 2015-08-20 17:36:30 UTC 
Posted a patch to fix the libuser behavior by not using libuser anymore, but it needs a fix in useradd in order to work right.
Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2015-08-24 16:37:30 UTC 
Discussed at 2015-08-24 freeze exception review meeting: http://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-08-24/f23-blocker-review.2015-08-24-16.03.log.txt . Accepted as a Beta freeze exception issue: this makes installation debugging somewhat harder and cannot be fixed with an update.
Comment 4 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2015-08-26 19:37:35 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 23-final by Fedora user sbueno using the blocker tracking app because:

 If sshd does not start, it is not possible to perform an interactive installation on s390x. I know that s390x is not a primary arch, hence the 23-final milestone.
Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2015-08-31 16:42:26 UTC 
Discussed at 2015-08-31 blocker review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-08-31/f23-blocker-review.2015-08-31-16.01.log.txt . For primary arches this is an inconvenience not a showstopper, and secondary arch issues cannot be release blocking by policy, so this is rejected as a release blocker. Note that doesn't mean it won't be fixed, just that we won't delay primary arch releases to fix it.
