[solved] openssh keeps generating new private/public keys on every boot

@ xyz-worx
Yes mate, I was about to do it anyway, sorry. So here we go then ....

A fresh copy of piCore

Code: [Select]

fdisk -ul

Code: [Select]

mount  /dev/mmcblk0p2 (mmcblk0p2 is my ext4 formatted partition)

Code: [Select]

tce-setdrive ( select mmcblk0p2 )

Set password for tc

Code: [Select]

passwdInstall openssh

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi openssh.tczRun the following commnads:

Code: [Select]

sudo cp /usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config.example /usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo cp /usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_config.example /usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_configStart openssh

Code: [Select]

sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/openssh start ( the application will now generate some keys, give it a couple of seconds )

That should be it. Now you can ssh to your Raspberry Pi from your computer ( login: tc and password: the one you've set )

Once logged in let's make this persistent ( so that openssh won't generate new keys on every boot )

I'm using MobaXterm so it's quite easy to edit files using the internal editor. No need for installing nano on the Raspberry Pi.
Open
/opt/.filetool.lst
Add

Code: [Select]

etc/passwd
etc/shadow
usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_config
usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config
usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub
usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pubSave and exit.

Let's make openssh start on boot
Open

Code: [Select]

/opt/bootlocal.shAdd

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/etc/init.d/openssh startSave and exit.

The most important step, we have to backup the lot.
Run the following command:

Code: [Select]

filetool.sh -b
Reboot.

I saved your instructions as an how-to install openssh!

Thank you gtr2!

@ Gerrelt
You're very welcome

[Gerrelt]

I just used your instructions to install ssh and it worked flawlessly!
It is so nice to be able to ftp to the TinyCore Raspberry.
It also feels faster, but that might be my imagination.

Thanks again!
