From 2f2bf6a800d585ea381e09eec148844a7135ac53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yann E. MORIN" Date: Sun, 23 Jun 2013 00:22:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] system/permissions: make /root group+others non-writable Upon logging, dropbear whines if /root is group- or others-writable, and key-based authentication is attempted, reverting to password-based authentication: dropbear[149]: /root must be owned by user or root, and not writable by others dropbear[149]: Password auth succeeded for 'root' from 192.168.127.35:41566 On my system, /root was 770. Changing to 700 fixed the issue. Having /root 700 is a good idea, anyway. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
