ssh not enabled, by default? - RodMyers - 09-14-2020

Did a fresh install of mobian. Trying to ssh into the phone.

following the wiki -> https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=tweaks#using-ssh-with-a-key-instead-of-password <- it seems that the ssh_server is not installed and running.

From within the phone & gui , I do not see anything to do with the ability to log into the phone.

What program(s) need to be installed to be able to ssh into the phone?

thanks

'sudo apt install openssh-server' should do it.

Edit: ... and the terminal program is called King's Cross for some reason. Smile

Thank you, worked for me.
Just wondering why they do not include it in their image?

Probably because it's a security risk (an additional attack surface, and a rather weak one if you use the four-digit passcode to login), and something that not everyone will want to use.

I agree with @bitnick - if you're going to use sshd you should disable password login and use keys. See https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=security for quick instructions. The PmOS build script offers to do this for you.

I do not think that on a gadget usable only for playing around any reasonable person would store confidential data Blush
