Hello yesterday i updatet my Jolla phone with the earlyaccess to 2.0.1.7. Since today i have a problem to connect from another computer to my jolla phone as root. Terminal output for: rpm - qa | grep openssh openssh-server-7.1p1-10.3.2.jolla.armv7hl openssh-clients-7.1p1-10.3.2.jolla.armv7hl openssh-7.1p1-10.3.2.jolla.armv7hl

Developer mode is on.

i can log in from terminal with devel-su or su with my password.

from remoteserver it says permission denied please try again.

I'd consider this as a feature, not a bug

I think this is intentional i.e. security enhancement (feature).

To get root privileges you have to know user and root passwords and direct root ssh requests are denied. I like it. ;)

Okay i think i dont edit the sshd config. I will copy only on nemo. It is more secure.

iirc only password login is prohibited, so key-auth should actually work

If you want ecdsa keys you have to upgrade openssh from openrepos. The default one is from Babylonian times.

@Kollin Wouldn't say it's that old because the newest release is 7.1p2 and SFOS has 7.1p1.

OMG!!! Jolla actually updated openssh!!! I don't believe it!

Is this true? Or you are having openrepos version?

O.o

yep, who need direct root access, can just edit sshd_config file a little bit...
Change this line:
#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password
To this one:
PermitRootLogin yes

With any root filemanager.... Personally I prefer FileTug (FileTug As Root from openrepos). Just go to /etc/ssh and open file sshd_config. Edit this line and save file. After this WinSCP connected as before ;)

10 chars. Thank you very much

Remember: when you disable/enable dev mode, sshd_config will be restored to its default formulation. You will need to edit it again.
