The setup is obviously is cross test, built using buildroot. The system is minimal with root allowed w/o password to enable tests to run quickly. On host I do the following which certainly involves root. | make test-wrapper='<path-to-build-folder>/scripts/cross-test-ssh.sh root@192.168.0.20' xcheck So guess it needs to be sshd or some other user on target ? _______________________________________________ linux-snps-arc mailing list linux-snps-arc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-snps-arc
