My goal is to simply use PUTTY running on a Windows PC to access, via SSH, my N810 over my home network. I've installed PUTTY on the PC, installed OpenSSH on the N810 from the repository (and given it a root password), and also installed the becomeroot package so I can "sudo gainroot".

I thought all I needed to do was, as root, this:

And then fire up PUTTY, enter the IP address of the N810, and then, zap - I'm in business. But that command doesn't seem to work. When I try to start the daemon I get this:

What am I doing wrong? I'm guessing I need to configue something (keys?) first, but I'm hoping that there's an easier way, since I think that means I'm going to have to learn vi, which is on my 'to-do' list, but right now vi doesn't seem like a lot of fun since I come from the world where Visual Notepad is the answer to life's most basic text-editing questions.

Help a newbie brother out?
