Configure SSH public key with LROS

I'm not sure why, or how you are logged in as root, but if you

ssh admin@hostname

, you are dropped at the

LROS 

prompt. If you then type

bash

, you will be dropped into a bash shell as the admin user. You can then run commands using

sudo

, which will give you permission to write to the file you need to write to:

sudo vim /var/run/sshd_authorized_keys.d/admin

.

I just did this on a 2.6.1 installation and it works very nicely. I'm not sure whether the

/var/run

directory will persist between reloads, though. I still need to test that. This comment makes me think that it might be possible to configure this through LROS, but I haven't been able to find a command or any other documentation:

 The default is to check both .ssh/authorized_keys and .ssh/authorized_keys2
 but this is overridden so installations will only check the LROS managed dir
AuthorizedKeysFile      /var/run/sshd_authorized_keys.d/%u
