Configuring Password for Entering Linux Shell

In CLI configure mode, you can use the following command to enter the Linux shell:

admin@PICOS# run start shell sh
admin@PICOS:~

To enhance system security, PICOS supports setting a password for entering the Linux shell. The command set system start-shell-sh password can be used to configure the password when using command run start shell sh to entering Linux shell.

The configuration takes effect immediately after successfully commit.

When showing the configuration, the password is displayed as ciphertext.

Example

Configure the password for entering Linux shell and enter Linux shell with this password.

admin@PICOS# set system start-shell-sh password 123456abc
admin@PICOS# commit
admin@PICOS# run start shell sh 123456abc
admin@PICOS:~$
