Jon,
After running 'sudo pacman -Syu' how were you able to log back in? User root now gives me "access denied"

Nope. I ended up going the Raspbian Jessie light route and have it set up but dnsmasq if now failing to start and wont hand out IPs.

However I did find this in /etc/dnsmasq.conf which isnt covered in the tutorials

# Uncomment this to enable the integrated DHCP server, you need
# to supply the range of addresses available for lease and optionally
# a lease time. If you have more than one network, you will need to
# repeat this for each network on which you want to supply DHCP
# service.
dhcp-range=192.168.0.50,192.168.0.150,12h

Please don't mix up the topics here. This is about Zero Support. I'm splitting the topic now.

The problems about handing out IP addresses is more like a missmatch between automatically configuration, the dnsmasq config in piratebox.conf and on which configuration your dnsmasq works on. (remember to disable the system service, as PirateBox fires it's own during script start)

This is only my signature.

You can actually delete this thread if you want. After I did a 'pacman -Syu' I couldn't login via ssh root:root but could still log in via serial root:root.

Alright, I just ran into the same problem. After an update, the sshd config was updated and root login was no longer allowed. Could still login with alarm//alarm though.
