Hi Stefan,

 

 

Thanks for that. I think the home directories are included in a UCS. Only specific files in root's directory are though:

 

 

/usr/libdata/configsync/cs.dat

 

save.4700.file = /root/.bash_profile

 

save.4710.file = /root/.bashrc

 

save.4750.file = /root/.tmshrc

 

save.4800.dir = /home

 

 

I think it would work fine to either use a non-root account's home directory to store the keys or to specifically include a new directory or set of files for this. I'd definitely add verification of the cron task to your upgrade SOP though.
