BiT with Synology DSM 6 (and 7) - passwordless login (via SSH)

[jnuernberg]

I was just setting up BiT with my Synology NAS (running DSM 7) and followed the instructions from the FAQ. Strictly following the instructions there did not result in success: I still had to enter the backup users password when trying to login via ssh. To overcome this, I had to change the backup users home directory rights to 755 / drwxr-xr-x where Synology by default uses 777 / drwxrwxrwx.

So it may be helpful to add one line in the according FAQ section mentioning to run the following comand once on the backup users home directors: chmod 755 /var/services/homes/backup

Albeit this is not strictly a BiT issue, it's nice to have it noted here.
