Also, here's the item I use to display current SSH status.
Code:
#
menu_item :main : SSH (status) : cmd_output : 500: quiet: test -e /mnt/onboard/.kobo/ssh-disabled
chain_success : dbg_toast : SSH disabled on port 22
chain_failure : dbg_toast : SSH enabled on port 22
#
One oddity I noticed was that when I set the password on first login, it didn't seem to stick. After the 3rd login, I ran passwd and set the password and from there it seems to have stuck.
