Did you edit the sshd_config? That is not the standard file.
Yes. For security, I changed ssh port and made some groups. Other than that, it’s just standard.
But main problem is ssh service is not refering sshd_config.
Service is active so it should be listening ssh port if it’s working properly.
Changing the ssh port on a home network doesn’t do anything to help security. If you are trying to open to port to the outside world, then you would change the port on the router.
Or just disable password access and only use keys.
I’d suggest that you remove openssh-server again and remove your custom sshd_config, reinstall and see if it works. Then add your changes one at a time to see what breaks it.
Well but you are saying it is not working.
What does netstat -tlnp say
I’m actually using it ouside world as well so security is very important to me.
I just removed openssh-server and then tried to reinstall ssh-app-osmc and then it worked!!
I wonder what ssh-app-osmc is.
Is it made by you guys which is similar with openssh-server?
Thanks.
It’s a wrapper to install the openssh server via the App Store but that might just have ensured that the conf files are proper.
yes if you allow access from the internet it is very important that you secure the ssh server (best just to use key based access). What @bmillham was referring to is that if you give access from remote you would normally change the high port on your router and forward to 22 on the Vero, no need to do it on the Vero
