noob ssh question

[jrraines]

I am new to ssh. I connected my raspberry pi to a monitor and an apple keyboard and wheezy works but the Apple keyboard was very spotty, dropping almost as many keystrokes as it read. It didn't seem to work at all when a mouse was plugged in, too. I don't have a powered USB hub on hand and my goal in the near term was to try to use it in a headless mode, so moving to that promptly seemed like the thing to do. I did use the menu to enable ssh. I plugged the rpi into a router and I THINK its assigned address is 192.168.1.146. I did not change the password yet. The keyboard was so spotty that without echo I'd have had no idea what had been assigned.

on my Mac, in terminal, I tried:

Macintosh-4:~ raine001$ ssh 192.168.1.146

I've tried 'raspberry' and 'pi@raspberry' as passwords. I'm not sure what to do, what to read, how to look for more info at this point.

You want to ssh in as the pi user, so ssh -lpi 192.168.1.146

You want to ssh in as the pi user, so ssh -lpi 192.168.1.146

More simply: pi@192.168....

I used to use -l, but once I found that the @ syntax works just as well, I stopped using -l.

thanks!

Or...you can download PuTTY (I'm taking a shot in the dark assumption that there's a Mac version...) and
use that. When you connect, you'll get a normal login prompt.

Theres some usefull info in the wiki about ssh for noob users over on the wiki.

Theres some usefull info in the wiki about ssh for noob users over on the wiki.

When referring users to the wiki, some noob users don't know how to navigate/search the wiki (there are a LOT of pages on there!) so it's generally a good idea to provide direct links to the specific pages, if possible. (I haven't provided any links here either, but that's because I wasn't sure which page you were referring to)

Both here " http://elinux.org/RPi_Beginners " and here " http://elinux.org/RPi_Remote_Access " are useful starts to shh with the pi... also a noob here, but a quick search led me there!
