Hiya,
tried a login on my PC#2 today using ssh and received a "Connection refused". Sort of irritated I was wondering if ssh was running at all on the remote machine, so I did a
Code:
ls /etc/rc5.d
and the response included a K01ssh.
Why was the connection refused then, I asked myself, and did a
Code:
/etc/init.d/ssh restart
Then I tried to login via ssh again and this time it worked. Funny enough that this behaviour is reproducable, so I need to know how to start the server (not only the client as it seems) at boot time.
Btw,
Code:
~$ apt-cache policy openssh-server
openssh-server:
Installiert: 1:5.5p1-5
Kandidat: 1:5.5p1-5
Versionstabelle:
*** 1:5.5p1-5 0
500 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Thanks for any sort of advice! |

K01ssh means it will stop ssh in that runlevel. During the install you were asked if you wanted to start the ssh server and you presumably didn't tick the box to say you would want it. To change that decision now you can run (as root):
Code:
update-rc.d ssh enable

But please take actions to protect your ssh if you have it activated all the time:

Special hint: PubkeyAuthentication is wonderful  |

Geeeeeeeeeeeez, that went fast....anyway, many thanks for all that.
Seems to be operating fine now. Only using ssh on the local network with a changed port number, root access being denied and using 'pubkey' authentication.
Cheerio, folks! |

Hi again,
still having to cope with the fact that the ssh-server isn't started at boot time....
I tried to run the command update-rc.d ssh enable, but that didn't change anything. Meanwhile I have noticed there are other users on the www, who also claim the stuff isn't working expectedly.
Shouldn't there be a start script for that service in one of the run levels, for example? All I can find is stop scripts K01ssh in /etc/rcXd (X=2-5).
Now I regularly have got to do a /etc/init.d/ssh restart before I can start working. 
Thanks again for any sort of help |
