You're damn right! Your hack can be handy, but it's also a security hole... Be cautious with that.
I understand that each security measure is a gate and it can be boring having to open it every time. One have to find the balance between a good security and a minimum of drawback.
Not sure if i missed something here. But as long as you don't need to access files as root. There should be no need to enable root to log in via ssh. Any user with enabled "shell access" should be able to connect to it with ssh/winscp.
But if the intention is to access files as root, it is the right way to proceed. I must confess that this is the way i do most of my development work on the UI of Bubba. With ssh and bluefish. But that is on a unit with no access to the Internet at all.
A final note on this is. That this file will get overwritten when we upgrade the UI. So it has to be redone after an upgrade.
Doing as you say is the recomended way to do it. But sometimes you really want to be able to log in as root. And then the hack above is the way to do it.
