I tried multiple times. When K3_WIFI="true" on my 2.5.8 DXG, the "login" command works with the 3 hex digit fiona root password, but ssh fails.

I just tested my 2.5.8 DX (white). It has had problems with SSH being extremely slow to even try to authenticate, but eventually it would let me login via ssh. At this time though, my ssh password is failing, even though it works from a "login" command after I telnet into it -- and that is with K3_WIFI="false".

The 4 hex digit fiona passwords that Sir Alex's KDT report do not work for any of my kindles (3G, 3w, DX or DXG).

Which passwords would I need when accessing this from the serial port (3 or 4 hex digits)?

Also, would installing the version 3 update on my DXG affect how many hex digits of the S/N md5sum are needed on the fiona password?

I have a friend who has a kindle 2. I will borrow that to see it it behaves differently. I find it strange that others on mobileread.com say they need 4 hex digit fiona passwords when all my kindles only want 3 hex digits...

I may need to switch to shared key auth like I use on some of my routers...
