Reboot overwrites settings
-
Hi guys,
Given the golden rule of never allowing direct remote root logins, I have set up a personal user account on my firewall. It works as expected, with a couple of aggravating nuances…
-
I have an key in $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys -- that worked, but I had to change the key to a newer, stronger one. I updated authorized_keys and the new key works as expected... until I reboot. After the reboot, my old key is back in the authorized_keys file! Ugh! How can I make my new key persistent?
-
I added the user account to the wheel group, but again, after every reboot, it has been removed. How can I keep reboots from undoing the settings I put in place?

You do not manage users and keys in the shell.
Use the GUI. System > User Manager. Add keys in the field. Do not try to use the wheel group. Use the sudo package GUI to grant extra privileges.
