Resolution:

1. Connect to Synology via SSH Command Line

1	ssh [email protected]

1 2	#/bin/sh echo "ldd 2.20"

1	chmod 755 /usr/bin/ldd

2. Enable Port Forwarding

sudo cp sshd_config sshd_config.bck
cd /etc/ssh/
/etc/ssh$ sudo vim sshd_config

Modify the configuration as follows:

1 2	AllowAgentForwarding yes AllowTcpForwarding yes

alt
Note: There are two occurrences of these parameters. Uncomment them at the beginning of the file and add them again at the end.

It is recommended to avoid modifying the root and admin account configurations. Instead, add a new configuration block at the end of the file for your DSM account (replace “username” with your actual username):

1

Match User username
    AllowAgentForwarding yes
    AllowTcpForwarding yes

3. Restart sshd
