SSH pre-installed key?

Technical Support

Dear Support,

I’m trying to set up SSH access to my RS and noticed a pre-installed public key named m0ntana@m0ntana in /home/myshake/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Do I need to keep this or can I remove it from authorized_keys?

Thanks,
Eric

hi eric,

sorry for this test data leaking out into the wild. you can safely remove this file, nothing will go wrong with your system as a result. and because Shakes are behind a router / firewall, there was never the possibility that your unit could be accessed from the outside.

thanks for letting us know,
richard
