I have--
had--a PW3 on 5.6.5,
with Airplane Mode on.
I turned on Access Restrictions
in my
DD-WRT router to block
www.amazon.com, and
confirmed its operation.* Then,
I turned off Airplane mode.
Unfortunately, the network
update came through from
other than the TLD amazon.com,
and I was pushed up to 5.7.2.1.
Fortunately, KUAL 2.6 and
USBNetwork 0.21.N still appear
to be working. Others have found
this out, too, that the update to
5.7.x doesn't brick, so no new
news there.
So now I'm treating the PW3 on
5.7.2.1 as a working unit, but I
really need to get its SSH
going for a project that's due
next weekend.
I've DLed putty.exe and
puttygen.exe. I've created my
public and private keys. I've
copied my public key to
/usbnet/etc/authorized_keys,
(authorized_keys is a file, not
a directory, with no extension),
being careful to export as UNIX-
style EOLs. I've configured my
PW3 to have a custom IP addy
of 192.168.1.114, I've turned
on USBN mode, making sure
to disconnect the cable, fired up
putty, I've provided putty with
a path to my private key, I get
the
"Welcome to Kindle!", so
putty.exe is seeing and attempting
communication with the Kindle, but
I keep getting the
"Server
refused our key" message.
I read in an Ubuntu Forums thread
that
OpenSSH and
Putty formats
for public keys are different--that
I may need to generate an OpenSSH
key on my Winders system, then
using Putty import and convert it
to its own format, save it with UNIX
EOLs,
then copy it over to the
Kindle.
Addendum:
I'm occasionally getting the notice
about the server key having been
modified--a potential security breach.
This is happening in my private
network, so no threat there, so I
may be even closer than I thought.
It seems as if the files are in the
right place, their values exported
properly with the correct, UNIX
line endings, but their public and
private keys are not matching
properly.
Even though I've manually set my
Kindle's IP address to 1.114, do I
still need to be setting my router
to be operating on subnet 15, using
the documentation's stated IP
address of 192.168.15.244 for the
Kindle ? I'd think not, since I'm
getting the
"Welcome to Kindle!"
message.
Other thoughts? Thanks.
