How can you implement user-changeable passwords without actually
changing /etc/passwd in a way that "survives" a reboot? And similar for all
other configuration changes that are expected by the user to be persistent...
Yes, this probably means a user with root and or physical access to a router
will likely be able to brick it and compromise its security (e.g. by
unfortunate configuration changes or installation of insecure software
packages). I guess what I am asking what is your threat model here?
