Thank you for the suggestion.

Allright. Thank you.

That would be a nice simple solution. If I had the option to lock it away in a safe it could work. Thank you for you're suggestion. Should I draw from this that there is no software solution to securing the flash drive?

Thank you for replying. The array is encrypted, but the flash drive would still give away shares created, the config of the server and plugins installed etc. I would like to prevent that if possible.

Hi all. I hope someone can help me. I would like to prevent that a person with physical access to the flash drive resets the password and gain access as root. I read the New User Basic blog #1. It states that to reset your root password do the following: - Shutdown your server. - Plug your USB flash into a laptop or another computer. - Open the USB folder and delete the files "config/shadow" and "config/smbpasswd" (do not delete "config/passwd). This will reset all user passwords, including the root user, to none, ie blank. - Now eject your USB and reboot it on your NAS server and you’re in. You can then set a new password in the Users tab of the Unraid webgui. Source: https://unraid.net/blog/unraid-new-users-blog-series I've searched the forums and found this previous thread: The user "JonathanM" mentions that some files could be moved to an encrypted volume. Would that be possible with the files "config/shadow" and "config/smbpasswd" to prevent someone gaining root acces to the server? Is there another way of achieving this? As I understand encryption of the flash drive is not a possibility though that is what i would like. Thank you in advance.

I've read the post and looked at the script. It looks promising. I will have to learn some scripting to modify it. Thank you for your input.

Oh I understand now. Sounds like a good idea. I will try using the at command. Thank you for your input.

No i haven't. I don't want it to be on a schedule - i want the server to power down when there is a second invalid login attempt. So maybe a script isn't what i need. Is there any way to achieve this?

Any idea?

Hello. I would like to run a script in user scripts to power down the server after 2 invalid login attempt. I've been searching the forum but haven't found anything similar. The server could be doing some tasks so if a graceful shutdown is an option that would be preferred. Would something like that be able to achieve? I'm on 6.10.3 if that matters. Thank you.
