I share @ribans concerns but accept it for precisely the same reasons he gives. I would advise using a different password from any more connected machines you may have on your network. One can also perform open ssd surgery if things really do get too confused.
Okay, my 2.c: this is not great. It is possible to set up the logins in a sensible way, while also providing an accessible instrument. I can only imagine that the only reason there isn’t a ‘zynthian’ user is because the team didn’t want the hassle of working out a proper permission sharing rig for the various and sundry components of the zynthian ecosphere … but I would wager this puts us all a bit … in danger.
Anyway, if the conversation has been had too many times already, I apologise for flogging a dead horse, but I can’t protest the idea of having an easily-rooted musical instrument(ahem … linux box …) on my pro studio network as anything but a big mistake … by somebody … maybe me … but good to know the policy is set, anyhoo…
dont attach it to the pro audio network then. Problem solved.
You can disable password access for sshd and use keys instead.
