Hi Anders, I got your back on this one, here we go. What you need to do is include your user name in the string so something like this.
ssh [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> where anders is my guess at your username and the @ symbol and then the IP address. What’s happening is if you don’t define the user the user your logging in from on the linux side is included so in that case it’s sending [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> but this won’t work. Your root password is probably not defined as something you know or root login may be disabled entirely for security reasons. If you want root on your mac do the following. ssh [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> enter the password that you defined for your local user account Then at the prompt type sudo su - enter your password (local user account) again when prompted and you’ll switch to root, note this is dangerous as root has full access and any mistakes may break something. A better policy is to figure out what command you want to run as root ahead of time then do from your local user sudo command-you-wish-to-run -any-parameters this way you just run the task only as super user. Let me know if that helps remember, the user name you want to pass before the @ is the target user on your mac so what ever you log in with, use that one.
