December 21, 20232 yr # ISSUE * Using armbian-config -> softy -> install Syncthing fails after message saying settings for inotify are changing * No further output * Control-C returns control However, my password was changed?!? Just to make sure I wasn't going crazy I rebooted into SD card version of Armbian that was used to write to eMMC and confirmed my password is correct. It appears the script to install Syncthing is changing my password so that I cannot use the system?!?

December 21, 20232 yr Author I might be wrong that it's the Syncthing install that changes the password. As part of the session, before using the Syncthing install option, I used the Samba install option which did ask me for my samba password. In my case, my samba password is not the same as my linux password. Here's part of the script for the samba install. It looks like the middle line is changing my linux password to my samba password which would cause the problem I saw. ``` useradd $SMBUSER echo -ne "$SMBPASS\n$SMBPASS\n" | passwd $SMBUSER >/dev/null 2>&1 echo -ne "$SMBPASS\n$SMBPASS\n" | smbpasswd -a -s $SMBUSER >/dev/null 2>&1 ```
