Hi, I am trying to get ZMacSync going on my PB running OS X 10.3.4 and a SL-C860 running the original ROM. ssh works fine between the two, as does smb. I can connect over both USB and 802.11b, but keep getting the following error message:
. . .
I am using login \"root\". Is this commit error one of writing to my Z?
TIA,
C.
The password doesn\'t get used in the ssh connection ZMacSync uses to transfer files. To get around it, you can get ssh to authenticate with a public key rather than a password. Off the top of my head, it goes something like this:
On your Mac, open up the terminal. At the prompt, type:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Let it put the file in the default location and leave the passphrase blank. Then scp the id_rsa.pub file in your ssh directory to your Zaurus.
scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@:~/Documents/
Then ssh to your Zaurus as root, or open up the console on the Zaurus and su to root, and append the contents of id_rsa.pub to the authorized_keys file in the .ssh directory:
cat ~/Documents/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
And that should make it work. Test it by trying to ssh to your Zaurus as root. It shouldn\'t ask you for a password. And if that works, ZMacSync should too. Hooray!
