Dear friends,
ssh to my machine is somehow blocked. if someone tries to ssh, it says:

# This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file. See

# 3. system-wide file
# Any configuration value is only changed the first time it is set.

i don't have any config in ~/.ssh
So what is the problem? I am in fedora 13, the firewall allows ssh..

Hello,

As stated in the output you posted you are referring to the SSH Client configuration file:

Code:

# $OpenBSD: ssh_config,v 1.26 2010/01/11 01:39:46 dtucker Exp $



# This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file. See

# ssh_config(5) for more information. This file provides defaults for

# users, and the values can be changed in per-user configuration files

# or on the command line.

You need to install and configure the SSH server if not already done so. If you've got the server part installed then you might need to configure the sshd_config file.

Check to see if installed:

Code:

which sshd

and if it's listening:

Code:

netstat -aln | grep ":22"

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

Post the output of:

Code:

#service sshd status

I suspect perhaps that your sshd has not been started.

thanks!! sshd start solved the problem

Good stuff :)

Please don't forget to mark the thread as SOLVED (under Thread Tools).

Do a chkconfig --list | grep on

Or more specific, check your runlevel by typing the command : runlevel

If you are in runlevel 3 , then type

chkconfig --list | grep 3:on

Make sure you see sshd there, if not, then type command

chkconfig sshd on

my earlier confusion is solved; but 1 more question.
it seems sshd didnt starts up in boot. how to enable it in starting?

Hi,

Run the following:

Code:

# chkconfig sshd on 2345

This will enable it to restart on a reboot and the following will verify the different run levels it has been enabled for:

Code:

# chkconfig --list sshd

sshd            0:off  1:off  2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
