how to set ssh password

How can I set a new password for user pi? Using the default pwd is a security problem

Really? Google “Linux passwd” If you really want to change it, you’ll need to ssh in and use passwd to change it.

Since the effective radius of a Stratux WiFi signal is around 30 or 40 FEET and any potential hacker would have to be sitting in your airplane, not really much of a security problem... plus what would someone do if they did hack into the Raspberry Pi? Fix a bug?

I hope nobody think this was MY question!

I did that: login as pi, set new pwd with passwd, sudo reboot. relogin: Old default pwd is active. Problem with read only fs? default pwd is a security problem: if you use stratux on your home/work lan and not in a plane. @wa9als: world is not so under complex as it seems in the first place

You need to disable read only fs in settings: enable "Persistent logging".

Thanx, thats it: enable "Persistent logging" reboot ssh pi@stratux.local (login with old pwd) passwd

go to stratux-website / settings disable "Persistent logging" reboot

ssh pi@stratux.local (login with new pwd)
