  • Mystic SSH question

    From JayDawg@21:3/257 to All on Sun Oct 4 21:07:13 2026
    Although this will not be specific to Mystic, I'm looking to see how others have implemented SSH for their boards. Here's the rub: I'm running Linux and my internet facing SSH is public key authentication only. I would, however, like to offer SSH access
    to the board. Is anyone else running anything like this?
    Best regards,
    JayDawg

    I just run Mystic's SSH on another port, 2222 in my case.

    Hi,
    I also want to try the SSH login on Mystic but it don't work.
    Actived the SSH server on port 2222. Compiled the cryptlib library,
    put the compiled "libcl.so" file to the Linux LIB path (/usr/lib/).
    Have no SSH connection. I don't know if i must change something in the OS ?
    I'm on RasPi4, running the official OS (Debian 12).

    Try shutting down mis, then go into mytsic -cfg -> Servers -> Logging Options and set the log level to Verbose or Max. Restart mis and try again, if it doesn't work, have a look at mis.log, it should give you a little more info.

    Well, i got SSH to work. Downgraded the cryptlib from v3.4.9.5 to v3.4.5
    and open the TCP port 2222 on the internet router.
    (on mis.log, mystic can't find the cryptlib)

    My SSH port is set to 2222, Linux is handling port 22 with public key.
    I set up Max logging and still failing. I thought maybe a cryptlib problem but I'm not sure.
    Here's my log:

    + 2026.10.05 17:33:15 SSH > Connect on slot 1/10 (178.249.xxx.xxx)
    + 2026.10.05 17:33:15 SSH 1-Hostname xxxxxxxx.xxxxx.com
    + 2026.10.05 17:33:15 SSH 1-Negotiating SSH session
    + 2026.10.05 17:33:15 SSH Unable to set key (-2)
    + 2026.10.05 17:33:15 SSH 1-Session failed

    I used syncterm and it returned a Syncterm error -41
    I also tried to SSH from the Linux command line and it errored with "Permission denied (publickey"

    Thoughts?
