Networking
How to use SSH with N9
- Go into developer mode
- Install OpenSSH Client+Server
- establish an WLAN connection - the N9 gets an IP, e.g. 192.168.1.120
- Open SDK/Connection App -> WLAN, Now you can ssh into your N9
ssh developer@192.168.1.120
ssh to the user account
- You need to set up a password on the N9, e.g. using the terminal typing
~ $ passwd
Using public key authentification
The usual preconditions for using public key authentication apply [1]:
- Creating and setting permissions for the directory /home/user/.ssh and copying the public key of your incoming PC into the file authorized_keys (permissions: 600)
~ $ mkdir .ssh ~ $ chmod 700 tobias@einstein:~$ ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_dsa.pub user@192.168.1.120:
It seems, the uncommon thing about the N9 is, that the home-directory /home/user is world and group writeable [2] , thus public-key authentication fails.
Two workarounds:
* use the developer account * make /home/user only world and group readable, e.g. ~ $ chmod 755 /home/user
The latter is risky, we don't know why Nokia decided to have it world/group writeable, there must be a reason for it. Probably because the users aegisfs, calendar have to create files/dirs in there.
