Hey,

nah, I was just warning that this is not a stable change and will be overwritten eventually.

I guess the idea of the hardening guide is a good one, but it is probably best to change this in the software than having a wiki guide about it. What do you think?

Best, -Michael

I see three options:

1. Either, expand a bit the "change the login detail" from the

hardening document https://wiki.ipfire.org/optimization/start/security_hardening to explain what consequences changing the system files have to the system, including the loss of them after an update.

2. And/Or add the warning about changing the system files and the loss

of the modifications upon update.

3. Or, if it's not worth it, I can just trash my howto. I have no

problem whatsoever.

Just let me know. On Fri, Nov 9, 2018 at 5:01 PM Carlo Fusco fusco.carlo@gmail.com wrote:

I am referring to this document (I am not the author):

https://wiki.ipfire.org/optimization/start/security_hardening

in particular the section:

"Change default login details"

I wanted to specify how to change the default admin for the wui and the console. On Fri, Nov 9, 2018 at 4:56 PM Michael Tremer michael.tremer@ipfire.org wrote:

Hello,

the configuration files in this article will be overwritten with updates. They are system configuration files.

What are you trying to achieve here?
