Hi all,
so I changed my default shell from sh to bash on my Vu+ duo 2 yesterday (chsh /bin/bash) and not 100% sure if this is what caused me to get locked out of my box altogether a short time later... I just kept getting "Permission denied (publickey, passwd)"... although I was still able to use ftp to interrogate files etc. I tried changing the password via Settings/network/password menu but this had no effect (ftp session had to be reset each time, but interactive login still failed.)
- after 4 or 5 hours of researching to no avail, I bit the bullet and upgraded to the latest OpenVix (i was about three builds behind.) I said no to "restore settings" and got back in. I then reflashed a second time and did the restore settings from an older backup and managed to get back in.
Two questions:
1. Has anyone else happened upon this login problem and could it have been caused by me changing the default shell to bash for my root login?
2. Is it safe to change the default shell to bash? I'm a bit hesitant to do it again in case I lock myself out again.
thanks.
