I was reading an article on Toms Hardware about the Linksys NSLU2 and the guy suggested that this might work on it, and since the guy said the NSLU2 has a StrongARM processor I figured I would ask you linux gurus out here if it would work. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) I know we got telnet I just prefer SSH ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

Sure, because we all know that your username/password on the Empeg is super-confidential...
I'd like it for when I send my credit card numbers over to the Empeg...
Why would you want SSH on the Empeg? To increase the CPU usage?

Well the main reason I prefer SSH is at work I have to disable ftp, but everyonce in a while I do need to move files, if I had ssh I would be able to use the SSH util to transfer files. Yes it uses a lil more cpu but so do just about every other application we throw on it. Im sorry if my previous post upset you in some way i was just wondering if it would work.

For those who use it at work on a network telnet is sniffable. I wouldn't want to upset a coworker and then find out that they've run "rm -rf" on my music partitions. Sure I could rebuild it all, but why go through the pain?
(Note that as I don't have any co-workers at the moment, and I'm not the kind of person to go around deliberately upsetting people, this isn't likely to happen to me, but I'd still like to see ssh on the empeg).

No, no, I was just asking a question.
I don't work in an office so I was not able to see the relevance of putting SSH on the Empeg to transfer files. It just seemed like a waste at the time. So often I see people wishing for features that are not really needed on the Empeg except for the cool factor.
Didn't someone have a telnetd with a login/pw enabled? I seem to remember seeing that. That would stop genxia's vindictive cow-orker from the rm -rf.
Edit: I'm a dummy, forgot about the "sniffable" comment.

Can't you use RZ and SZ from the terminal? I know it works over serial, never tried it with telnet.

Telnet interprets some byte sequences as internal commands. I don't know if zmodem can be configured to avoid those sequences or not. Also, scp is much, much easier to deal with.
Honestly, I've always had a lot of trouble doing zmodem over the serial port since there's no flow control enabled.

Yeah. The telnetd with a login was me. I'll dig it out again.

Of course the "rm -rf" trick would only work if they knew how to mount the drive read/write and where your music partition actually was. C'mon man- security through obscurity- it's the way to go! <sic>

Even something non-malicious. It is quite easy with some commands / interfaces (thinking about charcoalgrey's for example) to set the drives read/write and forget it. Then I disconnect the power and find the filesystems are dirty and need and fsck.

That's why Hijack password protection was implemented!

True and true. I was just showing that it can be very easy to cause damage (well, perhaps just annoyance) without intending to, if the player is left open on a network.

Er, no. The principle is known much better as security through obscurity in information security vernacular.

Right. I've never heard of security through obfuscation. Your Bitt impression sucks, Tony.

Damn. I'd first seen the term "security through obfuscation" in an IT trade publication ten years ago and never heard a different varaiant during all the intervening time.
I could argue that my way is a more accurate term, but clearly the masses have spoken. Sigh.

"security through obfuscation": 253
Edit: Jeebus, the links worked fine in preview. WTF?
Edit: It didn't like the double-quotes-as-% 22 inside the [ url] tag; it changed them to doublequotes too early somewhere. I changed them to "%2522". -wfaulk

You could, but Bitt doesn't argue that the generally accepted way is wrong; he tells you you failed to use the generally accepted way. You're not being Bitt, or if you are, you're an inferior substitute ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif)

I'm working on getting the debian OpenSSH server to work on a stock empeg kernel right now. It should be ready to download in the next few days.
I already have a running ssh server on my special configured empeg player (running a complete debian sarge distribution) since about two years.

How fast does it go? I compiled OpenSSH a while ago and found it be quite sluggish even with the player being idle/paused.
