Thanks, it was helpful but was a nice pointer. it really didn't help me.
I still get...
root@debian:/usr/lib/modules# sshdebian@192.168.0.213
Debian GNU/Linux 12
debian@192.168.0.213's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
debian@192.168.0.213's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
debian@192.168.0.213's password:
OK, if this is a freshly installed Raspberry pi, the username is *NOT* going
to be debian, so typing
root@debian:/usr/lib/modules# sshdebian@192.168.0.213
is *never* going to work.
If it is a Raspberry pi running Raspberry pi OS, you need to start with
root@debian:/usr/lib/modules# sshpi@192.168.0.213
And then the password is raspberry.
The only machines *I* know of with a default username of debian are the Beagle
boards (BeagleBone Black and PocketBeagle). For *those* machine the username
/ password is debian / debian.
I honestly don't know what the answer is...
