Hi,

I am booting from the cd with no hd installed and a thumb drive as my repository for settings etc. My files and IP settings are saved across reboots but my SSH certificate and my ssh user's and passwords go missing when I reboot.

How can I preserve these for use after a reboot?


Thanks,

Brian H.

Save the keys from /etc/ssh and user/passwords from /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd then start the daemon from bootlocal.sh (add '/etc/init.d/ssh start') iirc
or if not, there's a forum search :)

How do I invoke that at a reboot?

How do I invoke that at an ssh session reboot?

Or was this a joke ? I don't see 'noeject' in the DSL Wiki list of cheat  codes.

I need something that will persist across reboots so I don't have to  remember to do it if I reboot remotely a year from now.

Thanks,

Brian H.
