root password
root password
Don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I have followed the Migration Guide steps twice now, and something is resetting my root password after I copy the backup files across, then run through the eFa-Init wizard. Having to do a Centos root password recovery to progress.
Re: root password
I'm also getting these errors and no mail delivery. I'm not using DMARC or DKIM

Re: root password
root password is locked down by design. You can of course sudo in and change that if you desire.
Not sure why you have that milter, but edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and remove the milter inet:localhost:8891 and reload postfix. If you are not using DKIM, you don't need it.

Re: root password
Thanks, as suggested removed milter references to ports 8891 (and 8893) in main.cf, they don't seem to be getting removed when disabling dkim / dmarc as earlier suggested by tesme33

How can I allow root password and access from outside using tools like WinSCP or Putty.shawniverson wrote: ↑15 Nov 2019 05:57 root password is locked down by design. You can of course sudo in and change that if you desire.

Re: root password
I strongly suggest that you use ssh keys to allow access to your root account rather than setting a password.
It'll also make the winscp and putty tools easier to use.
Personally, I use a non admin account as my login using ssh keys, and then taking the second step of using sudo to make any changes that require root permissions.

Re: root password
I am sure there are many tutorials online for doing this.
Do you need one for winscp and putty?
