Re: How do I run OpenSSH?

Makes sense. I have to admit I've always used BT or Gmail or SD/USB because SSH always seems mind-numbingly complex for a spoiled-rotten end-user like me, and despite the crystal-clear advice in this thread, it still looks way too difficult.

Every now and then, however, I try to pretend I'm tech-y and maybe I'll give it a shot via the tips here.

Re: How do I run OpenSSH?

Is there no samba package for diablo?
Also, has anyone actually tried to access the N8x0 thru FUSE? AFAIK it requires openssl on the host, does it come in diablo or does it have to be installed?
thanks!
PS. It's somewhat relevant -- can I access (copy to/from) smb or afp shares on the network from Diablo?
thanks!

Maybe the most overlooked post in the thread. SO much easier. I know nearly nothing about this stuff and I was able to get it going.

On the side that is going to ssh out to the tablet, I'm assuming you have some kind of ssh command line client like OpenSSH, run the command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

...to create an RSA style pair of key files (there's also dsa but RSA has more bits involved and so is more secure).

It will ask you for a filename to save the rsa key as. You can just hit enter to accept the standard default location and filename (usually your .ssh hidden directory). Take note of the path and name of the key, though. You will need it soon.

Then it will ask you to enter an optional password... you can enter one if you want that extra notch of extra security but it's not necessary nor much better. You can just hit ENTER twice to leave it empty.

...

Now, you should be able to just 'ssh user@192.168.0.5' to get into your tablet and magically get a shell without being asked for your password.

Hi, I posted a question on this thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=35587 but I think this one might be more appropriate.
I created the keys and copied the public key id_rsa.pub over to /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys, but when I try ssh -l user 192.168.1.8 (the ip of the N900), it still asks for a password.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

1. create keys on machine A.
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f .ssh/id_dsa
2. scp id_dsa.pub user@n900-ip:
3. ssh to n900
4. cat id_dsa.pub >>.ssh/authorized_keys
5. chmod 400 .ssh/authorized_keys
6. exit and then try to connect from machine A.
