Hi, On a debian testing system (systemd 256.2-1) I created a user with: trixie# homectl create utest --storage=luks --ssh-authorized-keys="xxx" The I used ssh to login as the user ssh utest@trixie And it all worked as described here as new feature of systemd 256: https://mastodon.social/@pid_eins/112370336310304287 My question is how is the user "utest" able to change its --ssh-authorized-keys? I tried: utest@trixie$ homectl update utest --ssh-authorized-keys="xxx" Assertion 'user_name' failed at src/home/homectl.c:237, function acquire_existing_password(). Aborting. So without success. Changing password worked as the user: utest@trixie$ homectl passwd And changing the utest --ssh-authorized-keys= as root worked too. Did I miss something? Thanks for your help, Sincerely, Laurent GUERBY
