Preventing ssh service from starting at boot

moxieman99 · 09-22-2010, 09:07 PM

Since my desktop (Ubuntu 10.4.1 for now) has no need for anyone trying to ssh into it, I want to prevent ssh from starting as a service when I boot up.

If I type: sudo update-rc.d -f ssh-agent remove

in terminal, will that stop the service for all boots (until I run: sudo update-rc.d ssh-agent defaults -- in terminal)?

-- I've already removed (unchecked) ssh agent key from my startup applications --

Thanks

I believe you want "ssh" or "sshd", not ssh-agent
