Enable SSH in a FreeNAS jail

Theres instructions on the Wiki but to remind myself easily heres how I did it:

Edit the rc.conf file to enable SSH:

# vi /etc/rc.conf

set sshd_enable=“YES”

Then save (:wq)

Start the SSHd:

# service sshd start

(keys etc. will be generated)

Create a user so I dont have to enable root login, make sure to add wheel as an additional group.

Also need to create the /home folder as it doesnt exist:

# mkdir /home
# adduser

Username: brendan

Full name: Brendan

Uid (Leave empty for default): 

Login group [brendan]: 

Login group is brendan. Invite brendan into other groups? []: wheel

Login class [default]: 

Shell (sh csh tcsh nologin) [sh]: 

Home directory [/home/brendan]: 

Home directory permissions (Leave empty for default): 

Use password-based authentication? [yes]: 

Use an empty password? (yes/no) [no]: 

Use a random password? (yes/no) [no]: 

Enter password: 

Enter password again: 

Lock out the account after creation? [no]:
