Hey,

at least it would be a good idea to have a howto that is stable and does not need any changes after an update has been installed.

You are right. Maybe we can trash my guide and I can add a sentence to the hardening guide to warn about if the system files have to be changed, they will not survive an update. Let me know if this is acceptable. On Fri, Nov 9, 2018 at 5:26 PM Michael Tremer michael.tremer@ipfire.org wrote:

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?

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

Hello,

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

What are you trying to achieve here?
