This tutorial will leverage a text file, which will serve as a machine database, to store the various machine attributes that will be used when setting up the Kubernetes control plane and worker nodes. The following schema represents entries in the machine database, one entry per line:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each of the columns corresponds to a machine IP address `IPV4_ADDRESS`, fully qualified domain name `FQDN`, host name `HOSTNAME`, and the IP subnet `POD_SUBNET`. Kubernetes assigns one IP address per `pod` and the `POD_SUBNET` represents the unique IP address range assigned to each machine in the cluster for doing so.

## Enable root Login
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Initially the root account will be locked on all machines. You will need to
|
|
|
|
|
manually unlock the root account on each virtual machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You'll need to repeat these steps on each machine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Login to the machine with the `vagrant` user:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`vagrant ssh@jumpbox`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now set a password for the root account:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
|
sudo passwd root
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You can choose password **vagrant** to keep it the same as the vagrant
|
|
|
|
|
user, and there will be only 1 password to remember.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You'll need to unlock the password of the named account. This option re-enables
|
|
|
|
|
a password by changing the password back to its previous value. In this case
|
|
|
|
|
it should be set to the password we just assigned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
|
sudo passwd -u root
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Test that it works by running and entering the password you set:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
|
su
|

## Configuring SSH Access
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SSH will be used to configure the machines in the cluster. Verify that you have `root` SSH access to each machine listed in your machine database. You may need to enable root SSH access on each node by updating the sshd_config file and restarting the SSH server.

By default, a new `debian` install disables SSH access for the `root` user. This is done for security reasons as the `root` user has total administrative control of unix-like systems. If a weak password is used on a machine connected to the internet, well, let's just say it's only a matter of time before your machine belongs to someone else. As mentioned earlier, we are going to enable `root` access over SSH in order to streamline the steps in this tutorial. Security is a tradeoff, and in this case, we are optimizing for convenience. Log on to each machine via SSH using your user account, then switch to the `root` user using the `su` command:
