Description

@ferricoxide

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

STIG scans calling out RHEL-09-611190/OL09-00-000905/ALMA-09-038850

Describe the solution you'd like

Per the STIG guidance:

Create a new private and public key pair that uses a passcode, as the correct user, with the following command:

$ ssh-keygen -n [passphrase]

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Couple of issues:

  1. It should be rare that users are creating SSH keys on EL9-based hosts
  2. This is more a "lifecycle" task than a "run at birth" type of task

As such, this will probably want a FAQ entry in the Wachmaker documentation
