RB951Ui-2nD / 6.32.1 / ip hotspot html-directory setup unexpectedly changes

Could someone please explain why my RB951Ui-2nD (hAP) when running 6.32.1 suddenly decides to update it's /ip hotspot configuration from the default, without any input from me? Has anyone else seen this? Basically ...

  • I reset the configuration and then log back on when the router is ready.

  • "/ip hotspot export" shows nothing (other than a header) - so everything
    is at it's default.

  • After some time (not sure how long, but probably only a few minutes on average) "/ip hotspot export" shows

set [ find default=yes ] html-directory=flash/hotspot

html-directory has changed from "hotspot" to "flash/hotspot"
without me doing anything!?!?!

This behaviour is very worrying ... I do not expect configurations to change underneath me - where would this end. If something needs to be set then it should be done when the system has it's configuration reset, not at runtime.

I have not as yet seen this happening on an RB951-2n running 6.32.1 - is it RB951Ui-2nD specific?

This happens even when the RB951Ui-2nD is not connected to the internet, so it is not some type of
external update.

Here is a more complete log ...

Reset the configuration to get a clean start ...

[admin@MikroTik] > /system reset-configuration
Dangerous! Reset anyway? [y/N]:
y
...

Log back on and look at the /ip hotspot setup ...

Nothing was shown from /ip hotspot export.

Wait a while (not sure how long).

Have a look at the /ip hotspot setup configuration again ...

?? html-directory=... has been changed without me doing anything ??
