Also, if you want to ssh isn’t root, edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config Change: #PermitRootLogin prohibit-password To: PermitRootLogin yes If you want to change the host name from repeater, edit /etc/hostname Thanks, Bob K6ECM 73

You have to set one; “sudo” into root, then generate a new root password.

Hi All, trying to set up a new RPI node. Using latest rpi Dial release. But need the default root password. Doesn't seem to be listed on the Allstar wiki. the one for Repeater is listed but not root.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Cant proceed with configuring my node until I have rot password. Used to be debian but I guess it was changed since the last release.

Thanks,

Thanks, guys, Mike kb8jnm was able to give me the crucial info. Typing "sudo asl-menu" at the repeater prompt brings up the config menu. From there I was able to get the root password changed and initial set up of the node. I had done a node earlier this year but forgot to document what I had to do. All my notes date back to the older release when we didn't have to use sudo. Everything is good now. Cheers! Jon VA3RQ On 9/3/2018 2:24 PM, Pete Fierro wrote:

Permit root login yes

Don't forget to uncomment out the # before the word "Permit"
