Reading ssh_config(5), I suspect it needs to be Host 192.168.1.9 CheckHostIP no StrictHostKeyChecking no > For some reason the pi I tried had the name in the hosts file of > 'raspberrypi-4' and ssh seemed to connect to the pi then, but would > not accept the password at all, so this didn't work at all. > > Maybe I should try 'ssh -l pi raspberrypi-4.local' ? - That worked. ssh(1) will use your user name by default. You're overriding that with ‘-l pi’ there. ‘ssh pi@raspberrypi-4.local’ is another syntax. Or use your ~/.ssh/config to say Host pi4 Hostname raspberrypi-4.local User pi and then you can just ‘ssh pi4’.

Bear in mind you're naming the function of the SD card used to boot. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-10-01 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
