I did all that, and I'm running 2.2.x until I know I can run 2.4.2 securely-last time I left that kernel running someone was playing with popper... Anyhoo, I at least think I have sshd running, but I can't seem to connect to it for anything. I ran ssh-keygen for the login I want to connect with and created a passphrase. What else should I be doing? -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Brown [mailto:kevin_brown@qwest.net] Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2001 11:24 PM To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us Subject: Re: SSH if you installed version 2.4 then check your /etc/rc.d/init.d folder for an ssh* file and run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ssh??? start" where ??? is the rest of the file name. If you installed 2.2 or below then run sshd2 or ssh2d (can't remember which). Also before you start the service up go into /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config and change the line that says "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no" to keep root from being able to log in directly from ssh. You can still su or su - to root, but have to login first as a normal user. > I can't seem to get ssh* going.
