SSH access to WANem 3.0

[Richard]

What is the rationale behind disabling remote access to the WANem system? We used SSH to configure and run scripts to simulate WAN issues, and this can't really be done under 3.0 due to the lack of shell support. The so-called "Remote Terminal" is a farce in that you can't really edit files. Common keys such as Ctl-U and Backspace don't work. Up arrow for commad recall doesn't work. I don't know how this can be considered a replacement for SSH access.

it can be re-enabled, by adding the ssh service to rc.local as below.

WANemControl@PERC>exit2shell
root@WANem_3-0:~# cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/bash
#
# rc.local
#
# Start local services after hardware detection

SERVICES="apache2 ajaxterm ssh networking"

for i in $SERVICES; do
 [ -x /etc/init.d/"$i" ] && /etc/init.d/"$i" start >/dev/null 2>&1
done

exit 0
root@WANem_3-0:~#

not sure why it was disabled in version 3, but agree the WANem shell is not usefull at all.
