enabling ssh via chkconfig fedora 16

jamesbon · 02-07-2012, 06:04 AM

I want to permanently enable ssh on a Fedora 16 system.
I did

Code:

 chkconfig --add sshd --level 345 on
chkconfig version 1.3.57 - Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Red Hat, Inc.
This may be freely redistributed under the terms of the GNU Public License.

usage:   chkconfig [--list] [--type <type>] [name]
         chkconfig --add <name>
         chkconfig --del <name>
         chkconfig --override <name>
         chkconfig [--level <levels>] [--type <type>] <name> <on|off|reset|resetpriorities>

and then I did

Code:

[root@tinitin init.d]# chkconfig --level 345 sshd on
Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable sshd.service'.
ln -s '/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/sshd.service'

but when I check

Code:

chkconfig --list sshd

Note: This output shows SysV services only and does not include native
      systemd services. SysV configuration data might be overridden by native
      systemd configuration.

What mistake have I done here?

systemd has replaced chkconfig and service.

it clearly says that it's not managing that service, and is relaying the request.

sshd is enabled by default, so I'm not sure why you are needing to do this in the first place.

regardless of the (very useful and informative) error messages there, is sshd now starting on boot or not?
