###Starting services
The Debian way (generally) is to start daemons if they are installed.
This means that if you install (say) ssh-server in a template, *all* the qubes that use that template will run a ssh server when they start. (They will, naturally, all have the same server key.) This may not be what you want.
So be very careful when installing software in Templates - if the daemon spawns outbound connections then there is a serious security risk.
In general, a reasonable approach would be, (using ssh as example):
- Install the ssh service.
- systemctl stop ssh
- systemctl disable ssh
- systemctl mask ssh
- Close down template
Now the ssh service will **NOT** start in qubes based on this template.
Where you **DO** want the service to run, put this in /rw/config/rc.local:
systemctl unmask ssh
systemctl start ssh
Don't forget to make the file executable.
###Unattended Upgrades
Some users have noticed that on upgrading to Stretch, the unattended-upgrade package is installed.
This package is pulled in as part of a Recommend chain, and can be purged.
The lesson is that you should carefully look at what is being installed to your system, particularly if you run dist-upgrade.
