2.6.0-RC bugs

coldfire7

2.6.0-RC version, running on a PVE VM.

Can't login as root via SSH, if I try 2-3 times the Web Configurator and SSH both goes down. But can login using the user I created. Note the default admin account is disabled and this setup was working on 2.5.2, prior to the 2.6.0-rc upgrade.

Traffic Graph shows wrong upload speed when QoS is enabled and if WANs are PPPoE

I can't replicate that here, I login as root to most of my lab systems on a somewhat daily basis and nearly all of them are running 22.01/2.6.0 RC images.

What kind of authentication setup do you have configured on there for the firewall? Is it maybe using LDAP auth for the GUI?

@jimp Just normal username/password for GUI login and ED25519 key for SSH. I've created a new user and disabled the default admin user. That's all.

@jimp Updated to the latest version (2.6.0.r.20220124.1828), and still having the same issue. This is what the system log is showing.

This is after adding LAN IP prefix to the Login Protection Pass list.

You disabled the admin account. admin is root. If you disable admin, it won't let you in as root. The brute force protection rightly sees that as security problem and blocks access, hence the connections being blocked part of the time.

You'll need to login as your custom account (and perhaps use sudo to get to root). Otherwise you need to re-enable the admin account if you want to use root via ssh.

It's working as intended now, before it was a potential security problem.

@jimp enabled the admin account, it's working now.
