Hi all,

I followed instructions on NetBSD wiki regarding Allwinner A20 board. Is there any way to login remotely on it or I have to connect to its console (or though HDMI)? I would prefer to login remotely, but It doesnt seem to accept logins through ssh or I am doing something wrong?

Thank you

In order to log in via ssh, you need two things:  sshd running, and a user which is permitted to log in via ssh.

I forget whether sshd is enabled by default in the banana pi image, but if it's not, add the line

sshd=YES

in /etc/rc.conf, and then (re)start sshd with:

/etc/rc.d/sshd restart

You will also need a user;  by default, root is not permitted to log in remotely.  You can change this in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, but a better approach is to add a new user, and log in as that user.  See "useradd".
