Description

General Overview and Installation

This module comes as a ZIP compressed file with the name N5200_<modname>_<version>.zip, where <modname> is the module name and <version> is the version number of the module. While unpacking the ZIP file, a new directory N5200_<modname>_<version> containing the module and its source code is created.

The module file is called <modname>.mod and the source code is located in the directory <modname>. The source code is included for interested people and is not needed for module installation. The file Makefile can be used to rebuild the module on Linux systems.

The module is installed using the "System"->"Module Mgmt" menu in the Thecus Web Server Administration. Specify the file <modname>.mod as the module file and press "Install".

The whole installation process is logged and sent as an E-Mail if you're configured in the E-Mail notification configuration. After successful installation enable the module in order to run the module.

After uninstallation of the module, a log of the uninstall process will be send to the user(s) configured in the E-mail notification configuration. Prior uninstallation of the module, the actual configuration data is backed up to the place "/data/raid/module/backup/<modname>". When the module is installed again, the module configuration is restored from that place if available.

Module version 2.00.00

This module installs the SSH V1 and V2 client and server programs including some tools. The client programs ssh, scp, sftp and ssh-agent are available in /raid/data/module/SSHD/system/bin. The servers sshd and sftpd are available too.

If there are no host keys when starting the SSH daemon, a default set of V1 and V2 host keys are created.

Note: you most likely need to install the SYSUSER module because no users are available for login as default.

On the module property page, you can do this:

  • Backup/Restore: backup/restore the SSH configuration to persistent storage (/raid/data/module/backup/SSHD).
  • Download/Upload: download/upload the SSH configuration files as a compressed tar file.

Using Authorized Keys

Authorized keys can be used, but they aren't looked for in the standard location (~/.ssh/authorized_keys). Instead, you'll want to add them to: /raid/data/module/SSHD/system/etc/ssh/authorized_keys
