[arm-allstar] ARM-allstar Digest, Vol 76, Issue 9

[cqdogxray at gmail.com]

Just a follow-up on this one:  Having retrieved the SD card and replacing
the root password per instructions on the web site, what we found was that
the node had basically lost its ability to recognized ANY root login.   The
SD card  had some errors on it that (I am told) are typical when a Raspberry
Pi is powered down while running  (and of course with no root log in we had
to do that).  During its lifetime prior to this problem the node had never
seen a power outage.

So it's a bit of a mystery.

One thing I learned was that - in the configuration files - the
"asterisk.conf" file changes from release to release.  Do not copy an old
one into a new install. This is not a user configuration, from the stand
point of a node operator.

It looks like our HamVOIP root password for SSH has changed itself in the
last couple of days.

 

Has anyone figured out how this happens?  We are using a nonstandard port
for SSH.

Ken,

There is no way the password should change unexpectedly. Follow up with me
off-list, if you would like for me to take a look at the node.
