Hi All

I have added an additional user to my RUT300 that I can SSH into using the password but I have no idea if I am able to add an SSH Key for this user. Its working fine for ‘root’ in /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys.

Thanks
Mike

Yes, it’s possible, you can follow OpenWRT tutorials for this [OpenWrt Wiki] Dropbear key-based authentication. RutOS uses the same dropbear service.

Hmm that was embarrassingly simple. Thanks for that.
It confused me having root keys in /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys.
