 The initial content of these configuration files is stored in the EVE's source tree under [config](../config) folder. From there, these configuration files are baked into the EVE installer images. For the read-write bootable disk installer image these files can further be tweaked by mounting the "EVE" partition and editing those files directly on the installer image. This gives you an ability to take the default installer image and tweak it for your needs without re-building EVE from scratch (obviously this is not an option for a read-only ISO installer image). A typical workflow is to take an installer image from the official EVE build, flash it onto a USB flash drive, insert that USB flash drive into your desktop and edit file on the partition called EVE.

+## Disabling Remote Access
+
+EVE provides a mechanism to build an image with remote access disabled (edge-view and ssh), this can be done by configuring EVE when building an installer. Enabling remote access back requires access to the cloud controller to enable console keyboard access on the edge node, plus physical access to the edge node to issue `eve remote-access` command on the edge node. In addition changing remote access status from its initial value to anything else will result in change of PCR-14 value and subsequent failure in unsealing the vault key that needs to be handled using the cloud controller. Check [config document](CONFIG.md#eve-configuration) for more information.
