Buffalo NAS-Central Forums

Hi all, my first post here, hope it helps.

Enabling ssh login - Tested in FW 1.34 and 1.37
Assuming that your NAS IP is static 192.168.0.10

Using only acp_commander:
First you can test if your nas will accept the following comands, just do a "ls /" and see the result. If you see your "/" folders, its ok:
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t 192.168.0.10 -ip 192.168.0.10 -pw adminpasswordhere -c "ls /"

change root password:
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t 192.168.0.10 -ip 192.168.0.10 -pw adminpasswordhere -c "(echo newrootpass;echo newrootpass)|passwd"


allow root to login on ssh - (this is one way to do it, the other way i know is to remove root from /etc/ftpusers)
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t 192.168.0.10 -ip 192.168.0.10 -pw adminpasswordhere -c "sed -i 's/UsePAM yes/UsePAM no/g' /etc/sshd_config"


Only for fw 1.37 - execute this additional command to enable root login on ssh
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t 192.168.0.10 -ip 192.168.0.10 -pw adminpasswordhere -c "sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin no/PermitRootLogin yes/g' /etc/sshd_config"


restart ssh service
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t 192.168.0.10 -ip 192.168.0.10 -pw adminpasswordhere -c "/etc/init.d/sshd.sh restart"


try root login on ssh

Ps: my XHL had ssh service enabled after 1.34 and 1.37 updates, didn't tested before (updated from 1.20 to 1.34 / 1.20 to 1.37)

sorry my bad english

hi

thanks for this post - just got a ls-xhl 1tb box today and flashed it to the 1.34 firmware

your notes are pretty good - but I think the sed command should be:

java -jar acp_commander -t 192.168.0.10 -ip 192.168.0.10 -pw adminpasswordhere -c "sed -i 's/UsePAM yes/UsePAM no/g' /etc/sshd_config"

maybe?

I've been battling with different bits all day and this post has helped me a lot

cheers

I've done all command above successfull, but when I use Putty to login using SSH by account root with empty password, I still not login to my system, how can I do next, thanks for your help!

thx, i corrected the line.





You set an empty password? Something like "(echo ;echo)|passwd"? Try a non-empty pass, and empty it after first ssh login, if you want.
But i don't know if empty password works in this case.

I do have the same problem:

Could it be that the admin and root password are not the same? What should it be by default?

Changeing IP: ACP_STATE_PASSWORD_ERROR
Please note, that the current support for the change of the IP is currently very
rudimentary.
The IP has been set to the given, fixed IP, however DNS and gateway have not bee
n set. Use the WebGUI to make appropriate settings.

Out of the box, admin and root password will be different.

You got a result for "ls /". So your admin password was "password".
Why do you think you have a problem?

Be aware to not use "-addons" and do not use "-o" as well.
It is not possible to use the addons on XHL because they differ from
former LS versions (different binaries needed). "-o" is not working
anymore due to changes from Buffalo.

Try to follow exactly what was posted by the thread starter.
If you can't access the XHL with ssh then, come back and describe
what you did as precise as possible.

It worked for me with 1.34! the pasword to use is newrootpass

shouldn't it be:

java -jar acp_commander.jar -t 192.168.0.10 -ip 192.168.0.10 -pw adminpasswordhere -c "/etc/init.d/sshd.sh restart"

i mean with the ".jar"

It worked wonderful with my LS-WXL504.

THANKYOU MUCH!

And your english is perfect

I have 2TB Linkstation Live flashed with 1.34 open firmware. However I still cannot get SSH login to work.

I've followed all the instructions on this thread but it isn't obvious whether the responses to the different acpcommander instructions are having the desired effect. I can successfullly use "ls /" so I know I'm communicating with the box.

Is there any reason why the 2TB version of the Linkstation shouldn't work?

I previously had a 1TB box (LS v2) which I had configured to use Twonky Media server. I'm trying to do the same here but can't get very far.

Any tips?

Thanks.

Use my 1.37 it works

Thanks for this - very straightforward and useful post

Hi

I've recently got a Buffalo Linkstation Live 1TB LS-CHLv2 running buffalo f/w v1.37 and would like to enable ssh access. Looking at the main nas-central website, this method for the XHL *should* work on the CHLv2 (stop me here if I'm going wrong!).

I followed the steps in the original post, including the additional step for v1.37 (which my LS-CHLv2 is running), without errors.



I should state that the "ls /" command works fine and shows me the directories on my NAS, so it must be connecting properly.

Once complete I downloaded PuTTy to ssh into the NAS as I run WinXP, however when I type the NAS ip (192.168.0.10) into the host name box and click open, I get a "Network Error: Connection Refused" error message. Stating the obvious, I'm assuming that my ssh access hasn't worked......?

Can anyone advise on whether the above method should work for the CHLv2, where I'm going wrong, and what I can do to fix this?

I've seen many posts (perhaps not directly related) which use the -o flag with acp_commander. I haven't used this at all - should I have done?

Many thanks in advance

Mark

Have you enabled Protocol ssh?

In PuTTY? Yeah I'd tried SSH also tried telnet too but neither seemed to work.

In the end I used Shonks FW 1.37Mod1 - worked a treat and I've now got SSH and telnet access.

Thanks for your help
