SSH access requires the username of 'frontrow' and password of 'frontrow' upon authentication

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Patch with ssh-tools with atvusb-creator 1.0 b13
2. Log in as frontrow
3. sudo ls

Or ssh root@appletv

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to be able to log in as root or to be able to sudo. Instead, it asks 
for a password and 
does not accept 'frontrow' or 'root' as the password.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Patchstick created with atvusb-creator 1.0 b13 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3. 
Latest Apple 
TV OS (3.something)

You need to use the username 'frontrow' to login. I presume you used root. You 
were 
halfway there :), as the password is 'frontrow'.

No, missing the point. I cannot su or sudo once logged in.

Can you please change status from invalid in light of the above?

Ahh sorry, I misread it. Thought you said you were trying to login as root. 
Have you 
changed any usernames and passwords on Apple TV? Were you using a different 
patchstick or SSH distribution prior to atvusb. If I were you, I would start 
fresh 
with a factory restore and reinstallation of SSH from an atvusb patchstick and 
give 
it another go. Issue is reopened.

Thanks. I also tried logging in as root when sudo failed, sorry for the 
confusion.

I haven't changed any usernames or passwords on the Apple TV and the patchstick 
was applied after a fresh 
factory restore and then upgrade to the latest version (3.??). I will do this 
again as you ask though.

Right, I did another factory restore, upgraded to latest Apple TV version, 
re-created the patchstick and applied. 
It works fine now, so I cannot explain my problem before.

Thanks for your help, this can now be closed :)

Okey doke. Odds are you had used a previous patchstick distribution which had a 
different SSH distro on it, e.g. openssh/dropbear.
