From babb02b5218ba0fe5c00745e115961eb15de674e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Kanavin Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 17:58:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] local.conf.sample: comment out the root-with-empty-password setting This was not a good default; the autobuilder relied on it, but this has been fixed, there's now a separate fragment as well, and testimage has a check for the needed image features. Let's take this out and be more secure by default everywhere.
