I'm attempting to SSH into a Victron Venus. I have done this successfully before and have done the following
- Set venus to super user
- Set the root password
- Enabled Remote support
The issue is that i set a root password through the Remote Console and i get the feedback that it has set the root password, however when i attempt to SSH in, it is denied every time. I'm starting to lose some hair over it as i have another Victron Venus that behaves just fine.
using
ssh root@<ip address shown in remote console>
I'm connecting from a Mac. Venus is running Firmware 2.6 (have tried rolling back to 2.58 also)
Other than SSH how else can i verify that the password has in fact been saved. I'm concerned there is some weird permissions error or something preventing the password actually being saved despite it saying it has been.
UPDATE:
So it turns out my issue is I am trying to connect remotely - ie using the remote support IP address. I was under the impression that this should be possible? I can ssh in when i am on the same network and the password works fine, I can add my public key and then connect without root password. However I cannot ssh using the remote IP address - should i be able to or not?
