View source for Install SSH with Leopard

These instructions are for installing ssh on a "Take 2" Apple TV from a Mac with Leopard.

I put them together from other pages in this wiki.
The point with Mac OS X Leopard is that the binaries are not compatible with the AppleTV, at least not the one I have on my MacPro.
These instructions should also work on a PPC Mac (G3, G4, or G5). Or even (sigh!) on a PC with another terminal client such as [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ PuTTY]

A "Take 2" Apple TV is an AppleTV with the 2.x upgrade.

I took the option of opening the box and taking out the harddisk. People wanting to keep the AppleTV sealed can refer to the [[Enable SSH Without Opening the Apple TV|method with an external USB drive]].

==Preparations==
You will need the AppleTV harddisk and a Darwin x86 iso both mounted on your machine.

===AppleTV harddisk===
* Set the network settings on the Apple TV.
* Optional: update it to the latest version.
* Power off the Apple TV and remove the harddisk.
* Connect it to your Mac, e.g. with an USB to IDE adapter.
* Optional: [[Backup your original Hard Drive|backup the Apple TV harddisk]] to a file on your computer.

===Darwin x86 iso===
* Download a Darwin x86 iso from the [http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/images/ Apple Open Source pages].
* Mount the iso virtual disk.

==Installation==
At this point, you should see the following drives on your desktop:
* the AppleTV <code>OSBoot</code> boot drive,
* the AppleTV <code>Media</code> drive, which we are not interested in,
* the Darwin <code>Darwin8_i386</code> drive.
If the Darwin drive has a different name, you will have to modify the <code>SOURCE='/Volumes/Darwin8_i386'</code> code accordingly in the following instructions.

=== SSH===
We now just have to copy files from the Darwin iso to AppleTV boot drive.

Start <code>Terminal</code>.
You may want to <code>su</code> just to make sure you have all privileges.
Copy the following commands and paste them in the terminal.
 export SOURCE='/Volumes/Darwin8_i386'
 export DEST='/Volumes/OSBoot'
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/sbin/sshd $DEST/usr/sbin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/ssh $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/ssh-add $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/ssh-agent $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/ssh-keygen $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/ssh-keyscan $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/scp $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/libexec/sftp-server $DEST/usr/libexec/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/libexec/ssh-keysign $DEST/usr/libexec/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/libexec/sshd-keygen-wrapper $DEST/usr/libexec/

If you have a Mac with ssh enabled, copy the following file:
 cp -p /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist $DEST/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/

Otherwise, create a text file <code>/Volumes/OSBoot/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist</code>
containing the text found in the [[Install_SSH#Creating_an_automatic_startup_file|base SSH install page]].

===Kerberos framework===
The [[Install_SSH#Installing_the_Kerberos_framework_.28optional.29|base SSH install page]] suggests also installing the Kerberos framework.

However I could <code>ssh</code> to the AppleTV with the above Kerberos install (without <code>ssh -1</code>).

===Other commands===
As you later want to log to your AppleTV and play around, you might as well copy the following binaries:
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/at $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/bunzip2 $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/bzip2 $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/clear $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/cmp $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/diff $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/du $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/env $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/getopt $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/getopts $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/gunzip $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/gzip $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/killall $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/nano $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/nc $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/passwd $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/printenv $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/printf $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/screen $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/sftp $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/sort $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/stat $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/strings $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/su $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/tee $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/telnet $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/time $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/top $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/unzip $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/uptime $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/users $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/uudecode $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/uuencode $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/which $DEST/usr/bin/
 cp -p $SOURCE/usr/bin/zip $DEST/usr/bin/

===AppleTV reboot===
* Eject the Darwin x86 iso and the AppleTV partitions.
* Transfer the harddisk back to the Apple TV.
* Power it on.

==Login==
Find your AppleTV by pinging it:
 ping appletv.local

If nobody answers to <code>appletv.local</code>, you'll have to connect to it by its IP address which you can find in the AppleTV's setup menu.

Login to your AppleTV with:
 ssh frontrow@appletv.local

The password, as shipped from Apple, is <code>frontrow</code>.

At this point, you might want to [[Install_SSH#Logging_in_without_a_username_or_password|modify your login options]].

The user "frontrow" has sudo privileges. Change to root user with:
 sudo -s

From AppleTV 2.1, the command <code>su</code> works. Change to root user with:
 su

Shutdown the AppleTV with:
 sudo halt
Note that version 2.3 has a <code>Settings/Standby</code> command.

As a next step, you might want to [[Configure BASH|configure bash]].
