Quick Update, So it seems the password change for the dietpi user wasn’t properly applied during the “dietpi-config” I’m guessing this may be a bug because I attempted to change the password twice for the dietpi user via the “dietpi-config” GUI… both attempts seemed to have been unsuccessful and I simply didn’t notice till I tried changing the password once again via the passwd command…
It’s entirely possible I made a typo during that process because the default password didn’t work either prior or after the change via the gui… thus I expect if it is a legitimate bug that it will be reproducible…
After the password change and another reboot I was finally able to login as the dietpi user via ssh… Root provides a permission denied error which is desired, although my other two personal users… one with sudo privileges the other without still provide a connection closed error…
Any idea why those users aren’t allowed to connect via SSH?
Was I possibly supposed to add them to a group related to dropbear?
