hi, so I've enabled SSHD and want to do some obvious tweaks, i find /boot/custom/etc/ssh and edit sshd_config but after reboot, I still find that /etc/ssh/sshd_config lacks my mods.

Is there somewhere else I should make my changes?

You need to replace the edited file EVERY time you reboot, as the file you edited existed only in RAM, and is re-created in its stock form every time you re-install sshd when you reboot.

 

After editing the file, copy it to your flash drive.

cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config /boot/config/sshd_config

 

At the end of your config/go script, add a line to copy the edited sshd_config file back to /etc/ssh/sshd_config

cp /boot/config/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config

(then re-start the sshd if it was already started)

so the contents of /boot/custom/etc/ssh isn't automagically copied on boot?

why would it?  unRAID knows nothing about it. 

As far as I know, the only files automagically copied in the stock unRAID are the config/passwd, config/smbpasswd, and config/shadow files.

err.. I ask because the various key files are!

 

Found that this is done in the addon install script, should this be in a different (addons) forum?

Anyway, thanks for the help, I have it working now - done the same thing with blockhosts and it's config and hosts.[ad]* files.
