Well, it sounds good! But I would rather you don't screw the pooch if the network fails and it's a pain to recover :/ Saying that, you could setup a static address on the box so you can get to it over the LAN even if dhcpcd fails. If it's the WAN interface you expect to get access over, yes that could be an issue and I'd rather you be on site in this instance. Save the pain! Good luck Roy
