The default configuration of the Shorewall package provided with Bering-uClibc should allow you to login to your LEAF box with ssh from the local network. Nevertheless it is wise to make sure that this is really so.

Assuming that you have not renamed the zone for the local network, this zone is called "loc". The file /etc/shorewall/rules should then have lines like this:

##############################################################################
#ACTION  SOURCE         DEST            PROTO   DEST    SOURCE     ORIGINAL
#                                               PORT    PORT(S)    DEST
(...)
# Accept SSH connections from the local network for administration
#
ACCEPT   loc            fw              tcp     22
(...)

If this is not the case, add these lines and backup the shorwall.lrp package.
