CentOS - May 2007 - trying to run sshd daemon in kickstart environment

Hi,

  I tried to make kickstart environment a little bit more charming by
firing up openssh daemon in the limited environment. I edited/checked a
bunch of files and almost succeeded but still not.

  I can reach the machine to run a command like 'ssh -x
<kickstartClient> <command>' and it does work for %pre and both
chroot
and non-chroot %post sections, in fact, you can run a command on
kickstartClient through ssh connections without problems.  But it still
fails because I can not ssh into the kickstartClient to get a local
command shell. 

 In short, 'ssh -x <kickstartClient>' fails, 'ssh -x
<kickstartClient>
<command>' works.

 Any one has succeeded in this topic? Life will be much happier if we
can freely turn on/off sshd daemon for Kickstart environment. Thanks.

What if your command is '/path/to/shell -i'?
