Hope this is the right forum. The title says it all. I had a R Pi 2b gathering dust. Then came the USA lockdown, so I dusted off the R Pi 2 that has been sitting in a box for 5 years. I want to run it headless. I have done this before on Beagle products though from different computers.
I can ssh into online servers without a problem. However I can't ssh into the R Pi 2b. The sshd server is up. (I don't recall having to do that for ssh into online servers.) The initial ssh session does the crypto thing. I can see the IP address in the knownhosts file in ~/.ssh. There is no question I am communicating with the R Pi 2b. However no username/password combination works. Documentation says the default root:linux should work from ssh.
I have hooked up the network via a router, and two direct modes using link-local and shared to other computers. None work. I booted into root on the desktop and ran wireshark sniffing eth1. I can see the R Pi 2B doing NTP. I can't see packets when I ssh. However that might me pilot error on my part since I am not a regular wireshark user.
I have ssh in the firewall. I turned off the firewall and it made no difference.
I have done ssh -vvv. Nothing unexpected. It trying to use my PKI keys for the online servers then it defaults to keyboard. Just to be sure it isn't a keyboard problem I wrote the password on a file and did a cut and paste.
nmap -p 22 <ip> shows the port open and the service.
Hopefully that was enough head banging that I qualify for some forum help.;-) I do try to solve things first since hard fought lessons stick in your brain.
