I just upgraded from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0, and it appeared to go well, except that I can no longer access the serial console by logging in as root. I can still login with ssh, to the user id that I use with the webgui, but I don't get the menu.
Is this expected behavior, or a bug?
How can I access the serial menu over ssh? -
@guardian sounds like you made a legitimate login at some point that isn't admin/root. Might need to re-create it (even though it is there) to get the login script and such back for the 'new' user.
Guessing have to install sudo and stuff, as normal user wouldn't have root access.
I think the textual menu is provided by /etc/rc.initial -
@guardian try running
/etc/rc.initialto get the menu. Only 'admin' gets the menu by default. If you have disabled this account it is now reflective in the SSH connection with the 2.6 update.

HAProxy would only be affected if you have it configured to accept client certificates as a form of authentication. Which is possible, but rare in practice. If you have concerns about that, move the service inside a VPN where it's much more protected. As far as we can tell so far, VPNs are not likely to be as much of an issue as there are other hurdles attackers would have to overcome before the certificates come into play (e.g. TLS key protecting OpenVPN in addition to certificate auth.), and several VPN types and configs don't use certificates at all (e.g. WireGuard). We're still checking into it and keeping an eye on what people find, though.
