Dropbear-重定向用户的Shell时无法进行SSH

Question

I am running Linux on an embedded system with Buildroot+Dropbear. I am using systemd for init, if that matters.

Logging in via SSH works properly for root, but not as a regular user (gives "Permission denied, please try again."). The user's shell is redirected to a custom program with this entry in /etc/passwd:

admin:x:1000:1000:Custom user:/home/admin:/opt/customCLI

Logging in as the admin user works fine when the shell is /bin/sh . /opt/customCLI is a program I wrote that accepts a minimal set of commands.

Is there a way to support SSH logins directly to a custom program?

Answer 1

Add your program to /etc/shells

Some login tools will reject logins to users with unknown shells. This prevents the back door of using SSH to modify files or forward ports while being locked out with /usr/sbin/nologin or /bin/false .
