The instructions for Scale suggest using admin as the routine user and having root password login disabled. If I do this I cannot create an SSH connection from Scale to Core for replication purposes. I worked round this by doing all my replication by connecting from Core to Scale. Core does know how to connect to the admin user and use sudo.
Is there a workround for this, other than enabling root password login on Scale, which we are advised against?
I originally discovered this using Scale Cobia and Core 13.0, but I haven’t checked whether the situation has changed with current versions.
as far as what is advised vs. what works, do what works. Unless you are in an unfriendly network. If so then yes, follow the advise. My 2 cents
Also, I’d play around in VMs and “deploy” a solution after the VM didn’t brake anything fooling around on the command line. another 2 cents
CORE is going the way of the dodo. The sensible alternative is to jump to SCALE. ( but I guess you know all this and have reasons to keep the CORE box as is )
Thanks for the advice, both. If there is a way to login via ssh without having password login for root I was unable to find it - or rather it didn’t work.
I suspect if I want it to work I will have to enable root login. In the local circumstances I don’t think that is an enormous problem, I just didn’t do it in case it became even more deprecated in a later version of Scale.
