Update process to keep Telnet enabled #9

Closed amrut-asm closed 2 years ago

amrut-asm commented 2 years ago

Existing instructions to keep Telnet enabled didn't work. Needed to remove the file /flash/telnetDisable to make sure that telnet doesn't get disabled after some time.

Yeah! Looked into it! The old firmwares used to work with just /tmp/DEBUG_IMAGE but the new firmwares require /flash/telnetDisable to be absent to keep telnet enabled!

Would be better if you keep both the instructions in the file!

Ok, have made the modification. Curious to know how does a file in /tmp survive a reboot though... do you happen to have any info on this ?

Simply speaking, /tmp does not get cleared on reboot! It is exactly where your whole router configuration is stored (see /tmp/system.db).
