I want to be able to log in to my SME-server (e-smith) via SSH as a regular user.
The standard setting for SME is to allow root to log in via SSH but not regular users. They have done this for administration purposes.
My problem is that I want to open up access for regular users but can't find how they have stop the access. Reason for this is CVS I want to commit changes via SSH, and as CVS doesn't allow root to commit without recompiling it all I want to try the other route.
When I try to log in I get the password prompt and gets authenticated. I then get this message -------------------------
Mitel Networks SME Server
-------------------------
Standard user login services have been disabled.
Type "end" and press ENTER to terminate this connection:
I have checked the pam system but not found any thing that would block access.
As far as I can see the ssh system only have an option to set if root are allowed to log in, nothing about regular users.
I tried to look for the previous message in /etc and subdirs using
grep -r /etc/ 'Standard user'
But it took forever and didn't finish, so I interrupted it.
Anyone who knows the interior of SME or where to look next.
what version? there is an add on for earlier versions to allow the the control panel to add user shell access, it is included in the current version.
After the control panel is updated, you enable ssh globally, then edit each user to enable them one by one ( or get a diffferent add on to do it visually )
I'm using SME 5.6
In the web control under "Remote Access" I have enabled Public SSH, and select yes for admininstrative commands and normal passwords.
Where do I enable the separate users. I have search around among the config files but not found anything.
the server-manager should have a menu item for shell access for each user, that is the usual way to change configuration as the configuration files are templated and direct editing is erased at reboot.
you may need to use an rpm e-smith-usershellaccess-0.1-1.noarch.rpm in your version, it was needed in 5.5 and is part of 6.0
