Why? Many people only with repo commit privileges log on via ssh to a restricted shell that lets them do only a few specific things. ssh access has been required because of multiple version control systems that accept implicit (logged on uid) authentication only, and to do other account management chores (change email forwarding or ssh pubkey). > >> [RHEL8 vs CentOS] > > > > Luckily, we have until 2029 to work through the details either way. > > I don't follow. Could you expand on this please? Assuming online conversion to rhel8 is possible, we don't have to do it before 2029, in order to get the extended-life-support coverage. - FChE
