How can I do this but with another user than root?

I’ve already implemented the ssh login with another user (my_user in this example):

mkdir /volume1/users
mkdir /volume1/users/my_user

cp /root/.profile /volume1/users/my_user

chown -R my_user:users /volume1/users/my_user/

vi /volume1/users/my_user/.profile

change:
HOME=/root

to:
HOME=/volume1/homes/my_user

cp /etc/passwd /etc/passwd.old
vi /etc/passwd

change:
my_user:x:1026:100::/var/services/homes/my_user:/sbin/nologin
(numbers can be differents)

to:
my_user:x:1026:100::/volume1/users/my_user:/bin/sh

vi /etc/profile

add at the bottom:
if [ -f "/volume1/users/$USER/.profile" ]; then
. “/volume1/users/$USER/.profile”
fi

test:
> whoami
root
> cd /
> pwd
/
> su – my_user

BusyBox…

> whoami
my_user
> pwd
/volume1/users/my_user
> echo $HOME
/volume1/homes/my_user
> cd
> pwd
/volume1/homes/my_user
> exit
> pwd
/
>

restart ssh daemon by telnet:
/usr/syno/etc.defaults/rc.d/S95sshd.sh

test:
ssh my_user@IP_ADDRESS

I tried setting this up previously and I was locked out after the public key attempt failed. I suspect this was due to the number of bits being set to 1024 in the sshd_config (my key is 2048). I didn't know how to fix this issue, so I ended up having to reset to defaults. I'd like to try this again, but I don't want to leave myself unable to ssh in and unable to fix the problem without having to clear other things. Any suggestions?
