Application:OpenSSH

OpenSSH is a FREE version of the SSH connectivity tools that technical users of the Internet rely on.

Please refer to the OpenSSH Home Page and read the OpenSSH Manual Pages before using this package.

Optware installs openssh under /opt, so you should replace any references to /bin, /sbin, and /etc in the OpenSSH documentation with /opt/bin, /opt/sbin and /opt/etc respectively.

You can use the Terminal application to create your secure SSH keys for use with OpenSSH. Your public ssh key needs to be stored in /home/root/.ssh/authorized_keys to be read by OpenSSH to allow root login via ssh keys.

You can use:

/opt/bin/ssh-keygen

to create the private and public keys, and then:

mv /home/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /home/root/.ssh/authorized_keys

to move the public key to become the /home/root/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
