Given that you're struggling to get changes to "stick" when there's no
rational explanation, and files "reverting to default" [1] -- are you sure
your SD card isn't dying?

Just a thought, one of the early symptoms of mine going was a partial
refusal to write/update/delete files in the usual way.

I think some of the "write" happened, or got cached, but it wasn't
really there on the SD card.

Ultimately a reboot "fixed" it, because the stupid thing died altogether
and wouldn't boot any more. SD card rapidly end up "mounted" in /bin.

:(

[1] I've only stumbled onto this otherwise, when certain non-hacker
distributions of Linux go round re-writing config files when you're
not looking. Coming from a Slackware background, I don't expect
auto-thing-wizards to be re-writing my config files, thank you.
