Hey thanks for your reply & sorry for the delayed response. I did try to do the steps you have provided & the output shows that it listens in port 22.....if in future....say for example, I shutdown & restart the the Ubuntu machine......& wanted to restart the ssh....will there be the same prob??

No, it'll start automatically when you reboot.

I haven't used 9.10 yet, but I couldn't imagine why the behavior would change by design. In any case, if this is a GUI box you can use the Services tool to manage the startup programs (I'm not sure if it's still called that in 9.10). On 8.10, it's accessible by going to System > Administration > Services. From the command line, you've got plenty of options (including manual editing of links). I've got sysv-rc-conf installed, which makes checks and tweaks very simple. Running a specific check for the SSH daemon I installed for illustrative purposes gives me (for example):

Code:

win32sux@candystore:~$ sudo sysv-rc-conf --list ssh
ssh          1:off	2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on
win32sux@candystore:~$

So I know the links for SSH are set for it to run unless I'm in single user mode (runlevel 1).

There's also GUI tools such as BUM available.
