I have updated polyglot password but am trying to update polisy password.  I can't seem to find info on updating the password at the polisy level using SSH.  Can you please give me some guidance?

@Techman The problem with using Windows built in SSH is that it requires a bit of added syntax to make things work correctly. By default the user name of the Windows account is used as the log in name during an SSH session. To log into Polisy you need to log in as Admin. To do this here is the command.

SSH admin@IP_Addr of Polisy

I would highly recommend you setup Putty to use for SSH connections. It's a bit more friendly and you can keep multiple profiles available at a single click.

When I'm at the "Password for admin@polisy" prompt it still won't accept any input from the keyboard. Do I need a port number. Seems it's using port 22

@Techman it should be port 22, port 22 by default is the telnet protocol.
I'm not sure why you can't enter anything from the keyboard. Just for a test can you install Putty, link is above and see if that works?

Thanks, I've got to run out, will give Putty a try when I get back

I normally use Putty but I tried it using a Windows 10 command window.  It works, but Windows doesn't echo the password so it looks like nothing is being entered. A cr should cause it to ask for the Password again.

I just installed Putty. When I try to input the password I'm having the same issue as I did with Windows SSH. I don't see the keyboard input and I get a password denied. I'm using a wireless bluetooth keyboard, I wonder if that could be an issue?

    Password for polisy@polisy:
    End of keyboard-interactive prompts from server
    Access denied
    Keyboard-interactive authentication prompts from server:
    Password for polisy@polisy:

Have you first logged into the admin user i.e. ssh admin@192.168.X.X?  Then change user to polyglot with the password "admin" ?

Thank you, I was able to log in. I was using polisy instead of admin

When I try to look at the debug.log I get a permission denied. What am I missing?

I'm still trying to understand the various users on Polisy.  If I login as admin, I can cd /var/polyglot/log and vi or cat debug.log.

I tried su polyglot with password admin and the "admin" password and got Sorry.

To access the ISY files, I need to use sudo ls /var/isy/FILES.  sudo cd /var/isy/FILES doesn't work.

You can use sudo -i  to work within the root user.
