can't get a password-less ssh login to seagate-central

Asked by Anthony Dobaj

attempting to get a password-less login to a seagate central NAS, and I've played with lots of permutations for permissions for the config files and authorized_keys files, and of course generated and placed the rsa files. from executing "/usr/sbin/sshd -d" I can see that the NAS is complaining that the ssh daemon cannot open the /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key due to permission denied. I can't get to this file because I don't have root access. am I on the right track? anybody know what the default root password is for a seagate central?

I searched a bit and found these sites both saying root default password is empty (mumble mumble)

ssh with password, then su -

Set the following permissions:

drwxr-xr-x root root /Data
drwxr-xr-x username username /Data/username
drwx------ username username /Data/username/.ssh
-rw------- username username /Data/username/.ssh/authorized_keys

Reboot Seagate Central.
