FIXED: User ID is NOT root, its actually "developer" I guess they changed in the update
Why not just installing OpenSSH server, no need for MAD Developer overlay (unless you use MADDE). OpenSSH server also doesn't require extras-devel and extras-testing repos, so beginners are less likely to f-up their shiny precioussss..
Step 2: If it doesn't ask you to set a password during the installation (it doesn't ask when you install SSH Server & Client package, IIRC), open xterm and type:
Code:
sudo gainroot
When transfered to root shell, type: passwd
Set your password to something secure, the root account is `the GOD user`!
3) To find out your IP you can either type in xterm:
After that, all you need is WinSCP, FileZilla Client, SSH Secure Shell package or any other that allows SFTP connection to your device, for host enter your IP, for user: root. When asked for password enter the one you've set during the installation and/or via the xterm.
Additionally, you can set a password for your user thus avoiding direct root access to the system - procedure is the same as for root, but you'd be setting password to your user so the command should be: passwd user
After that you can log-in using user `user` instead of `root`, from where you can gain root if you need to tinker with system files.
And additional warning: never ever save root password on your machine. Auto-login is extremely convenient way to invite someone to wreck your device. It shouldn't be that hard to type a root password you've previously set on a full-sized keyboard.
