OK, here were the steps I needed to get key-only ssh access to work:
- on my computer generate a simple key-pair:
Code:
ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/kobo
the default settings work for dropbear ok...
- The contents of the public key must be copied into a single line of the file:
Code:
/usr/local/niluje/usbnet/etc/authorized_keys
... this didn't exist so I had to make (touch) the file first then edit it, I used nano to copy and paste from the output of
Code:
cat ~/.ssh/kobo.pub
from my computer. This file should contain your public key contents on a single line.
- Then I needed to edit:
Code:
nano /usr/local/stuff/bin/stuff-daemons.sh
and uncomment the line
Code:
SSHD_OPTS="${SSHD_OPTS} -s"
and I also commented out line
Code:
#SSHD_OPTS="${SSHD_OPTS} -n"
- I didn't need telnet, and to disable it you have to make a file in a folder:
Code:
touch /usr/local/niluje/usbnet/etc/NO_TELNET
- Reboot the device.
- To use this key:
Code:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/kobo root@my.ip.add
