TerraMaster Forum

Hi everyone,
I'm currently using a TNAS running TOS 6 and ran into an issue when trying to connect via SSH using an RSA key.

Details:

The same SSH key works fine on other systems (VPS, Synology, etc.).

On TerraMaster, the connection fails with:

Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/username

I noticed that the user home directory is created with 777 permissions and includes ACL (indicated by a +).



After manually running:
→ SSH key login works as expected.

I'm wondering:

- Is this the default behavior in TOS 6 when creating new (admin) users?

- Is there an official way to use SSH key authentication without manually changing permissions?

Would appreciate any insights or suggestions from the team and community.
Thanks in advance!

1. The user created when reinstalling the system is a root user by default. Subsequent users need to be manually granted administrator privileges in the TOS system. The default privileges are ordinary user privileges.
2. No
