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. Best, -Michael P.S.

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.

Request for credentials to modify the wiki
by Carlo Fusco 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Greetings, I already wrote on a separate tread of this mailing list about few improvements I would like to make to the wiki, however before doing that I need to receive a username and password, since the ones I use for the forum are not valid anymore for the wiki. I sent a request to wiki(a)ipfire.org as well, but I have yet to receive an answer. I imagine it went to a spam folder or Michael is too busy at the moment. In case, I remain at your disposal for any help I can give to the project. Until then, have a great day. -- Carlo Fusco
