SSH to serial not working from LAN on AirconsoleTS, error: Bad file descriptor

[gabriel-ca]

Same issue with 3 new AirconsoleTS devices i have received.

SSH to Serial enabled in Advanced serial settings .

Whatever account i make or use admin, with or without TACACS+ when i SSH to the AirconsoleTS's on port 4001 or any other like 4002
Tried with different settings and different SSH clients with same issue for all.

You get a key sent to be accepted and so on and loging and password challange and then it just drops dead.
Extra settings needed that are not in the GUI ?

Almost there.

I have no discovered that SSH to Serial 4001 ONLY works if i have Raw Serial Enabled, that kinda still leaves it open to direct access making SSH activation pointless.

I can confirm this same behavior on my AirconsoleTS, SSH only works when raw serial is on. Not a big factor for my use, but wanted to atleast let you know it isnt your setup

Thanks, good to know.

Hello,

Please upgrade to Airconsole 2.76 which should fix this issue - see here for download: http://support.get-console.com/solution ... ober-2014-

Regarding raw serial needing to be enabled - this is no longer the case from 2.77 onwards (which is still currently in testing)
