How to disable sshd in debian wheezy?

skilo47 · 05-31-2013, 11:32 AM

I tried to do this -

Code:

update-rc.d ssh disable

But it says ssh overrides?

Code:

update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `ssh' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5).
insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (2 3 4 5) of script `ssh' overrides LSB defaults (empty).

Remove the openssh-server package or use sysv-rc-conf to disable it.

If you want to completely remove open ssh

Code:

apt-get remove --purge openssh-server

Thanks, That works for me as i never use ssh anyway, I don't think i will mark the thread as solved though until someome posts further information about how to disable it rather than uninstalling it completely.

If you don't use it why have it installed? Why would you want to just disable it? I wouldn't imagine there would be a way to disable openssh. What would be the point? You could close port 22 I guess. But I really don't understand why install it, then disable it, and never use it?

It was installed by default on my system, But maybe i didn't word my question correctly, What i was really asking was how do i stop sshd from running on startup?

To stop a service you can do

Code:

/etc/init.d/packagename stop

This may sound a silly question, but did you check to see if (even with the warnings) your command was successful?
Is ssh still starting after a reboot?
Under /etc/rc2.d/ ... is the link called K01ssh or S18ssh ? (K = kill service. S = start service. The number represents the order in which they are executed.)
(Similar question in /etc/rc3.d, rc4.d, and rc5.d)

I'm not getting an error on my Deb box. My server version and MySql client version are both 5.5.31. I did install MariaDB 10.0 a Debian 7 VM to see what happened. And I did receive the error like I predicted. Everything runs fine. It just tells me in phpmyadmin that they do not match and that it may cause errors. I've Googled it several times and I still don't know which MySql client version is meant to work with mariaDB 10.0. This isn't anything but curiosity. i don't know of any MySql client version being 10.0. I'm just wondering what client version is meant for the 10.0 version. I don't think it refers to the 5.5.10 because the documentation on the MariaDB site has a 5.5 option. The mysql-server package install both the mysql-server and client just like mariadb-server install both client and the server.

So I'm thinking i I start from scratch and install MariaDB 10.0 I'll get my answer since it will install both the client and server. I'll try it in a bit and post back. I realize this is silly to some.. But I really like to learn about this stuff.
