Debian SSH does not start on reboot
 
Hello, I am pretty new to Debian. I have a problem, my Ssh does not seem to start on server reboot. It only starts "after I've login into my account". Is there anyway to modify that?

Yes, create a sym-link from /etc/rc2.d/S20ssh to /etc/init.d/ssh:
Code:
ln -s /etc/rc2.d/S20ssh /etc/init.d/ssh
For this action in that directory you need to be root. Log in as root on the server, issue the above command and reboot.

I hate this line in /etc/rc2.d already:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2006-03-20 18:21 S20ssh -> ../init.d/ssh

Hmmm, strange that ssh fails then. What does the output of the command
Code:
ps ax | grep ssh
tell you? There should be a line like this:
Code:
4884 ?        Ss    0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd
The 4 digit number (4884) will be different on your machine, but the last entry (/usr/sbin/shh) should be present.

One more thing though: did you install a ssh server in the first place? Do a
Code:
aptitude install ssh
to be sure.

small correction:
Code:
aptitude install openssh-server
Ssh server is not installed by default for etch network install for example.

@nx5000: you're right. Stand corrected then :)
