Tips & tricks

First, you have to generate a private / public key pair and publish your public key on the host server running the virtual machines. Information about it can easily be found on the web . After, simply write your private key in the file id_rsa in the .ssh folder located in your home folder. If the folder .ssh doesn't exist you can create it. Ensure that only your user has the right to read that id_rsa file, or the key will be ignored when connecting to ssh : > chmod 600 id_rsa In the Add Connection form of the Virtual Machine Manager, select SSH method and root username (or any other user on the remote server where is published your public key) Enjoy !

Prerequisites : You own a public key and a private key, or you can generate one with puttygen or openssl ipkg and nano installed if you want to use this editor First connect to your nas as root via ssh using your admin password. If you want to connect later on as root, go in the home folder of root If you want to connect as another user, go in the home folder of the other user, and follow the same instructions cd /root/ Go to or create the directory .ssh mkdir .ssh cd .ssh/ Open the file authorized_keys (assuming nano is installed with ipkg, otherwise use cat or vi) : nano authorized_keys Copy your public key inside the file and save it. Open sshd config file : nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config Ensure the two following parameters are enabled and uncommented : RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes Configure your ssh client to use your private key and enjoy ;)
