Re: Remote Into N800 from PC
 
There are only two accounts on the N8x0s that I know of. One is the user named "user", and the other is the user "root". Unless you've added additional users to your tablet, you are SSHing into it as one of those two users from your Linux box. You would do the same with Putty.

Moonshine: When I go into my N800 (user or root or whatever) through my Linux box and ssh, I'm not required to enter a "long-in" name, only a password. Putty wants a "long-in" name. So there is this apparent difference that I'm encountering -- and to my knowledge I don't have (or know of) any "log-in" name.

Well, what command do you use in Linux?
If you're doing:
Code:
ssh user@n800.some.net
then you're specifying "user" as the login name.
If you're doing
Code:
ssh n800.some.net
then ssh is guessing the login. Probably using your username on the linux box, but possibly something else. Check the man page for your ssh implementation to figure out what login it's using, then use the same with putty.

Benson: That worked fine. Thanks. It's obvious when you think about it! I have for so long been using an automated ssh log-in that I'd forgotten that my log-in included either an initial "user" or "root" designation. Thanks again and regards, Jim
