By default there is no password set for root on the Kobo devices, and you have to set it by yourself using the passwd command.
When I realised that vlasovsoft needs to be installed in .kobo when it is used without KSM, I redraw me previous decision to support only the .adds folder.
Thanks for the quick reply tshering, I have indeed set "useDropbear" to "true" in "general" and I have now used telnet to set a root password but when I enable USBNet I only see "USBNet support: enabled" and I still receive the "Connection refused" error message when I try and ssh in with "ssh root@192.168.2.101"
