Difference between connecting using "ssh shell@<device_ip>" and "ssh root@<device_ip>" #1

This is probably just a case of me not understanding the functionality but I am not able to connect using "ssh shell@". Connection using "ssh root@" works. I placed the same SSH key in both /data/ssh/root/.ssh/authorized_keys and /data/ssh/shell/.ssh/authorized_keys. I have the same permission set on both directories/files.

What is different about connecting as "shell" vs connecting as "root"? is root connection running with root access and "shell" without?

Thank you in advance for clarifying.

That is how it should work. Connect using ssh root@<ip> and you will have root access; connect using ssh shell@<ip> and you should have non-root access as user shell.

I'm not sure why login as user "shell" does not work for you. Maybe there is a problem matching the username, uid and home directory. I hope I can find some time in the next couple of weeks to investigate this.

Thank you for responding. I will almost always want to use ssh with root access so the fact that connecting with shell does not work is not a big problem for me.

BTW, I also had an issue with sshd service not auto starting on boot. Adding small wait ('sleep 15') in service.sh seemed to fix it. Not sure why, but I got the idea to try it because another Magisk module that I am using had 'sleep 15' in its service.sh with a comment that it was running too early in the boot process.
