How to enable SSH access on piaware (flightaware) since version 3.3

 

For security reasons, SSH access is disabled by default on new PiAware SD card installs, starting with version 3.3. To enable SSH, create an empty file on the /boot partition of the SD card with the filename of “ssh” only (no file extension). When this file is present, SSH will be automatically enabled.

Make sure however to change the default password for the user “pi” which is “flightaware” to something to your liking using…

To change the password of your account, use command: passwd.

To change password of any account when login as root, use command: passwd <account name>

    just installed Piaware 3.5.3. Now I am unable to SSH. My command is sudo SSH pi@192.168.0.10
    I am prompted for password but flightaware does not work.
    In previous version 3.5.1 I had no problem
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
