How to login to jail via SSH?

[Dmitry Nevozhay]

Hi!
I failed to connect directly to plugin's jail with ssh, without "jexec N tcsh"...
So I enabled sshd in jail's /etc/rc.conf:
echo 'sshd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
And then changed jail's /etc/ssh/sshd_config to match the host's one:
PermitRootLogin yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
And started service:
service sshd start

But when i try to login to Jail_IP:22 as root with PUTTY, it fails
login as: root
Using keyboard-interactive authentication.
Password for root@sabnzbd_1:
Access denied

I use root pasword from host's root user.
What's my mistake?
And how to resolve this issue?

root in the jail doesn't have a password unless you set one.

I personally have ssh enabled on my freenas host (and not on my jails), then use 'jexec # csh' to login to whatever jail I need to get to.

To set a password for the root user in the jail use jexec to get a jail shell then type 'passwd root' then enter the new password.

Thanks, guys! I've set the password for root in the jail, and it's working now.

Thanks a lot!! :)

You know, when you make a jail, you can highlight the jail in the GUI, and just click the little shell icon at the bottom. No need to jexec into anything. And you can do "passwd" right there.
