TS-228 : how to connect with an account other than root in ssh

[Snapower]

Hi,

How to connect with an account other than root in ssh with TS-228 ?
The file /etc/ssh/sshd_config is overwritten at the factory configuration with each reboot.
I found copies of this file but nothing helps :
/mnt/HDA_ROOT/.config/ssh/sshd_config
/mnt/emmcp5/usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config
I only wish I could edit this line:

Code: Select all

AllowUsers admin myuserlogin

I activated my personal user account for SSH access through the GUI, by using Control Panel/Network & File Services/Telnet/SSH, anc clicking the button named "Edit Access Permission".
This gives you a list of users, and each has a checkbox for remote SSH access.
It works, even though the page clearlysays "only the account admin can login remotely".
It also survives reboots.
I'm using QTS 4.3.4.0486 on TVS-1282.

The 'Edit Access Permission' page only gives you a list of administrators, not all users.

To allow other than administrators access you need to install your own version of ssh server. If you really want to do this then search the forum as it has been done before.

In order to use users who are not administrators, I installed the application "Entware-3x-std 1.00" and then I installed openssh-server with OPKG.

Code: Select all

# /opt/bin/opkg list-installed
 ...
entware-opt - 1.0-4
openssh-keygen - 7.6p1-1
openssh-server - 7.6p1-1
opkg - 2011-04-08-9c97d5ec-17a
...

After that, I'm not sure if I'm using OpenSSH because I still can not connect :

Code: Select all

$ ssh -p 22 myUser@myNas
myUser@myNas's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.

Thank you! I can confirm that this worked. I havent tested a reboot yet, but so far so good.

I created a new user, put them in the "administrators" group and also disabled their file access to only a single share. My plan is to use this accounr for rsync over SSH to backup my linux machine. I really didnt want it connecting to the NAS as root with access to all the storage locations.

Note that the user isnt shown as "administrator" in the user list, only admin is.
