Just curious if anyone has managed to used ssh to access their Kobo.
There is now a file in the .Kobo directory called (by default)
ssh-disabled which contains
Code:
To enable ssh:
- Rename this file to ssh-enabled
- Reboot the device
- Connect via: ssh root@<device_ip>
I tried these steps and then tried to use ssh to access the Kobo. I was prompted to store an ssh key but then had no luck with the password prompt
I've a kludge via NickelMenu that lets me add a new ID to the Kobo with a known password and start telnet; this works but using that ID with ssh fails. (It's possible that one mistake I made here is that I only added my new ID to the passwd file, and NOT to the shadow file.)
I suppose I could try to change the root password on the Kobo to null (there is actually a script that the Kobo will run to set the password on first connection via ssh).
