TomatoUSB

Adding limited new user to allow viewing of status screens.
ssh newuser@localhost -i keyfile.ppk = "ssh: Exited: String too long" error
Even generated new key using dropbearkey.
ssh working for root, key only access, same key.
New user created using tomatousb.org/tut:adding-your-own-users. Fails ssh create home directory and .profile. Manual creation of home and .profile and copy of root password in /etc/shadow to /etc/shadow.custom allows new user to login at ssh/telnet prompt with no password?. Fails to allow login on web interface. Asus RT-N16 Shibby 110.
Heres the line's to create the user from the tutorial, altered for private key.

chmod 777 /tmp/home
ssh -i keyfile.ppk $UNAM@localhost "mkdir /home/$UNAM;touch /home/$UNAM/.profile && echo success"
# press return for the password prompt, you should see the word "success" reported
chmod 755 /tmp/home

Still trying to add a user able to only look at status pages since DD-WRT type status page is un-available on Tomato.
The new user "stats" can logon from a SSH or telnet now, got the SSH bug fixed.
The new user "stats" cannot logon via the web interface.
The web interface must be limited to root/admin logon only? anyone have a idea what's going on with that?
