I follow the directions here on how to setup ssh key auth on my synology NAS. These are typical linux configurations so nothing special; I include the link for reference.

This gets me

ssh root@

but what I want is user specific login.

So, I modified /etc/passwd and set the shell to /bin/sh

I can log in as that user but not with key auth. I have checked 4 different websites; all saying indentical things. So, I must just be missing something dumb.

By default ssh creates a .ssh folder in your root folder where it stores the keys. So you need your user to have a home directory.

On Synology go to Control Panel > User > User Home. Check the box next to Enable User Home Service & choose a volume that you want your users’ home directories to reside.
