SSH on AIMesh nodes

SSH Logo

I want to use SSH on AIMesh nodes to extract information from them.

This means I need them to allow specific keys to automatically login to them. I found these notes on smbforums:

Which explains how to get it working.

The only wrinkle I have found is that the remote node doesn’t always remember the multiple keys properly – as it only is supposed to have one key.

On ASUSWRT, the main router strips out a false carriage return characters and puts the carriage return back. If the AIMesh node reboots, I have to go and do that same action by hand.
