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.
