No not certain at all, how can I check?

Use the "pause" boot parameter to look for a "backup restored" message. Also, compare the contents of /etc/shadow with the default and what is in your mydata.tgz.

baz:
Oh man, I am such an idiot. This is my first time using MicroCore and I am so used to associating backing up with rebooting in TinyCore that I never ran: filetool.sh backup

Embarrassing.

Thanks!

By the way, do you have to do chpasswd at some point too, or noautologin/secure are all that's needed?

danielibarnes:
once you save the password in /etc/shadow you only need the noautologin boot parameter.

baz:
so I never needed to chpasswd, not even once?
