SSH Configuration reset on reboot

Hi lads,

I have just freshly reset my RN102.

 

There is a bug that is annoying me terribly, every time I reboot the system the SSH configuration is messed up / lost, somehow it is being reset.

 

I follow this site to setup 2fa http://www.howtogeek.com/121650/how-to-secure-ssh-with-google-authenticators-two-factor-authentication/ it works fine until reboot, than I loose connectivity since the ssd_config file is being overwritten.

 

Why is this happening? Why is the SSH conf file overwritten?

 

The only way to gain access again is restoring a former version of the aforementioned file using the indications here:

    Some config files we attempt to self repair. This is one of them.
