SSH problem

satimis · 07-26-2007, 09:51 AM

Hi folks,

server
Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
(router IP - 192.168.0.11)

workstation
Ubuntu 7.04 desktop i386
(router IP - 192.168.0.12)

Server can connect the workstation and browse remotely with;
$ ssh -Y satimis@192.168.0.12 rox

But workstation can't connect the server with;
$ ssh -Y satimis@192.168.0.11 nano

Code:

ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.11 port 22: Connection refused

Server
# cat /etc/ssh/ssh_config

Code:

Host *
#   ForwardAgent no
#   ForwardX11 no

#   RSAAuthentication yes
    PasswordAuthentication yes
#   HostbasedAuthentication no
#   BatchMode no

#   TunnelDevice any:any
#   PermitLocalCommand no
    SendEnv LANG LC_*
    HashKnownHosts yes
    GSSAPIAuthentication yes
    GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no

Secondly unable to restart ssh
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
Password:
sudo: /etc/init.d/ssh: command not found

$ ls /etc/init.d/ | grep ssh
No printout

$ which ssh
/usr/bin/ssh
ssh is running.

Please help

you don't want to start ssh but sshd.

"Connection refused" means either sshd isn't running or it is firewalled off by iptables.

Does the server actually have sshd on it or just the client?

Hi,

Edit the sshd config file - /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Uncomment the line

Code:

 # Authentication:

#LoginGraceTime 2m
PermitRootLogin yes
#StrictModes yes
#MaxAuthTries 6

restart sshd

Code:

Dragon:~ # /etc/init.d/sshd restart
Shutting down SSH daemon                                             done
Starting SSH daemon                                                  done
Dragon:~ #

Hope it helps

Hi folks,

Tks for your advice.

Sorry, I haven't installed openssh-server

$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
went through w/o complaint,

$ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
* Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server... [ OK ]

On workstation;
$ ssh -Y satimis@192.168.0.11 rox
satimis@192.168.0.11's password:

Rox starts with only the vmware folder displayed.
