Title: Does Beta1 On My Collie Allready Have Ssh Running?
Post by: telemetric_au on May 20, 2007, 09:18:14 am

im hoping to connect via ssh from tower to 5500, i notice some mention of ssh when beta1 is booting up, can i connect to it ??

if not how's an easy way to ?

i tried searching for ssh, as im sure its come up but ssh as a term is too short to  work ...

thanks.

do a "ps -ef | grep sshd"

if you get a responce other then "grep sshd" then it is running...

if no reponse then try "/usr/sbin/sshd" I believe that is where it is at...

Late

PS. note that sshd by default wont allow blank passwords.. so if yours is blank, set one :-)

I think SSHD is started at boot by default, but I'm not 100% sure about Beta1 on a 5500.

On your desktop, type "ssh -l username -Y ipaddress" where username is the username on your zaurus (root by default, but it's a good idea to create a zaurus user and use that instead) and ipaddress is the ip address of your zaurus (type ifconfig to see the IP).

It should just work (as long as your password is not blank), or at least it does on my beta3 setup. If not, type /usr/sbin/sshd on your zaurus to start the ssh host service and then try again.

I had to enable X11 forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to get X11 forwarding to work (passing arguments to the ssh command doesn't seem to work).

sweet !! it was that i hadnt assigned a password !, as id noticed a mention of sshd at boot and thought it was related so tried #ssh root@ipaddress , but had failed due to lack of password...

assigned a password to root (naughty me) : # passwd root root

Now i can remote control without having to go into x and start x11vnc !! oh the gleee

thanks all
