Hi Kamal, I have added the sshd_config file from my LinkStation to this post.

Feel free to download it.

Can someone make the original LinkStation Duo Pro sshd_config file available on the net?

I had ssh running on my Duo Pro, but one day I was not

I re-ran acp_commander and found all my data missing and even this key file.

Hello,

Thank’s for your tutorial. For steps 7 to 15, if you want, you can do this:

ssh-keygen -t dsa

ssh-copy-id -i /home/XXXX/.ssh/id_dsa YYYY@your_nas

Where XXXX is your local user and YYYY user on your nas. It’s a bit fastest than manual copy.

@Volker,

Thanks for the information. That step doesn’t seem familiar to me by any means, nor a friend of mine so maybe they changed something with the LinkStations again. I know my initial steps were definitely different than those by another person too (to be fair, mine were entirely different as he hosted root over ssh).

Thanks for the updated and how you fixed it. That may help a lot of individuals out.

Hi,
thanks for your very helpful instructions.
I would like to add a hint as for my linkstation

ssh user@localhost

did not work. It resulted in an error related to the machines host key.
I had to remove the files “/etc/ssh_host_*key*” and regenerate new keys using “ssh-keygen”:

ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key

Cheers

Volker
