OWL - How do I activate users other than "admin" to use SSH?

By default the OWL router only allows the user "admin" to log in over SSH.


Example 1 - Adding a specific User


This is triggered by a setting in "/etc/sshd.conf":

...
AllowUsers admin
...

This setting can be changed manually or by adding the following lines at the end of your startup script.

file="/etc/sshd.conf"
line="AllowUsers admin coadmin"
grep $line $file || {

 # replace the AllowUsers line with the one we defined and restart ssh
   sed -i "s/AllowUsers.*/$line/" $file
   /etc/init.d/ssh restart ;
}

In this example the user "coadmin" is allowed in addition to the "admin" user. Afterwards please restart the router.


Example 2 - Adding all admin users


By removing the access restrictions in "/etc/sshd.conf" the system reverts back to allowing only admin users:

This setting can be changed manually or by adding the following lines at the end of your startup script.

file="/etc/sshd.conf"
grep "AllowUsers" $file && {
   # remove all lines starting with "AllowUsers" and restart ssh
   sed -i "/AllowUsers.*/d" $file
   /etc/init.d/ssh restart ;
}


Afterwards please restart the router.
