please advice a Linux live-CD which has an sshd server enabled by default. I want to use it as rescue and setup for headless servers.

It should get ip by dhcp or fallback to reasonable default ip if no dhcp server in the Lan.

SOLVED! archlinux installation CD has ssh enabled by default! look for this: archlinux-2015.01-1-archboot-network.iso

You can build your own livecd for this. SystemRescueCD has instructions for this ( http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_How_to_personalize_SystemRescueCd).

SystemRescueCD already starts sshd at boot. There are two things left to do:

  • define a root password by passing rootpass=<password> in the boot options
  • configure the network by either passing dodhcp for dhcp or ethx=<IP>/<CIDR> gateway=<gateway_IP> for static configuration.

Ubuntu server has this. But you can do it on any Ubuntu LiveCD by opening terminal and then: sudo apt-get install sshd and then service sshd start
