SSH install = warranty void?
Hi,
to install ssh it is necessary to store the root password in the flash (the same for telnet with password). Does it mean that you loose your warranty because some records inside flash mem. are modified?

Re: SSH install = warranty void?
Depends on how you install ssh. If you use the funplug method, you don't actually change the flash memory. A new debian system is installed on the hard drive, and that is where ssh and all your passwords will be stored.

Re: SSH install = warranty void?
Thanks for replay.
BUT, according to fonz funplug readme:
"To make password changes permanent (i.e. survive reboots), the
changed password files must be written to flash memory. A script is
included for that purpose. After running passwd or smbpasswd, run:
store-passwd.sh"
So, it seems that even for funplug the flash has to be modified. Store-passed.sh contains
mount -t minix /dev/mtdblock0 /sys/mtd1
cp -f /etc/passwd /sys/mtd1/.
cp -f /etc/group /sys/mtd1/.
cp -f /etc/shadow /sys/mtd1/.
cp -f /etc/samba/smbpasswd /sys/mtd1/.
and
mount -t minix /dev/mtdblock1 /sys/mtd2
cp -f /etc/passwd /sys/mtd2/.
cp -f /etc/group /sys/mtd2/.
cp -f /etc/shadow /sys/mtd2/.
cp -f /etc/samba/smbpasswd /sys/mtd2/.
Looks like two flash banks with configuration.

Re: SSH install = warranty void?
Hello,
Have a look at my script here (http://dns323.kood.org/forum/viewtopic. … 592#p11592) on how to do this at boot time without worrying about updating flash yourself.
One way to propagate any updates you make to memory password persistent is to use the web interface and update any user password.
