SSH on new RN 102 with OS 6.0.5
Brand new shiny RN 102. Upgraded firmware to 6.0.5. Public, static ip address (ie not private space 192.168.X.X) . Both laptop and Netgear on the same local subnet. Https to Frontview from my lap...
Thank you for the help. The problem turned out to be sort of dim. I thought I had read that admin and root were treated as the same. ssh admin@XXX didn't work. ssh root@XXX works fine.
Also changing /bin/false to /bin/bash in /etc/passwd allows non-privileged ssh. And then su - if root is wanted. Maybe just me, but it seems better than accessing root directly.
Thanks again.
