So I guess to wrap this in my own head I'll explain what my original (flawed?) thinking was with regard to use of the new security setup or not.
I had thought perhaps the ultimate security was to skip the userid and password entirely, so instead of leaving an open door via the old default userid and password, how about no door at all?
In other words don't even setup a userid/password/SSH at all, then there is no way for a malicious/unauthorized access to occur. That did not go well last week at all, however doing it in the manner prescribed/specified worked just fine today, with the one bit above about Moode's UI thinking the Host name/player was moode after a restore from backup, even though it was actually my new userid.local that brought up the UI, and that new userid is also what worked via SSH.
