Post PR1.1, to enable remote root login again (or rather make it controllable via
/etc/ssh/sshd_config like before):

Code:
echo -e 'mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/run/sshd\nexec /usr/sbin/sshd $SSHD_OPTS' >> /etc/default/ssh
pkill -9 /usr/sbin/sshd
and reboot.

Since running this code I can't access my device via SSH/WinSCP, get '"Connection Refused' err msg

Also tried device terminal command "ssh user@local host" with escalated privileges (as devel-su) but get similar 'Connection Refused' err msg ???

HELP!!
