NimbostratusWhat is "Host Processor Superuser" in /var/ssh/root/authorized_keys?
I am currently using 11.3.0. When looking at the authorized_keys file for root, I found an SSH key for Host Processor Superuser. What is this for and is it okay to remove it?

as far as i know, Linux host on the BIG-IP is the Host Processor. The Host Processor Superuser is used by the LCD panel to allow limited configuration access of the management port without having to log into console port or management interface.
So basically, it will be needed by your box as long as you want to config your box with LCD panel.
correct me if i wrong.

NimbostratusI removed this entry from the authorized_keys file for root.. I don't use the LCD panel (don't even have it hooked up). So it appears this is no problem/issue to not have it there..
