linuxgeek: Re: [nslu2-linux] Re: Need help restoring ssh access

Hello!
Someone else should chime in here, but see what what user and group
the entry is assigned to. For example the plugs I have here who're
running normal firmware will only allow the user who set things up to
log in to them.

I'm looking at how to enable the classic Pink one that arrived on
Wednesday here, to run Slackware on ARM. One of my pet peeves is that
they use the 2.6.22 kernel and that's too old for the mini root file
system images the developers make available...... Oddly enough one of
my better known releases was that of the 11.0 release which is
technically too old for the site. But it does make available a kernel
who's almost in sync with the plug.

Sorry to dump, but that's one of the reasons why I continued to stick
with the groups. The fact that the plug is on their hardware list
makes things work here.

The one I received is different than what was pictured in the howto and only has 3 wires (no yellow) instead of 4. Below is Qui's pictured cable from the article. But my white connector was wired different...

Then looking at the above picture I made the the following color substitutions: White->Red; Red->White; Yellow->Black. The idea is to maintain continuity between appropriate pins on the black and white connectors as illustrated in the picture. Hope that's clear enough.

It worked straight away and I was able to undo my initial blunder by adding a command to start the sshd daemon in file rcS which runs on boot. Now I can use sshfs to mount and play my 4TB of music remotely.
