SSH port 22, how open it?
 

Hi everyone,
i have a router modem and a mandrake distrib and i just want to know how open the ssh port (22)?
modem : Alcatel Speedtouch Pro modem.
Thanks

Basically you want to have sshd running as a daemon service...it defaults to port 22. I'm assuming you have a firewall up....so you want to put a rule in it with "iptables" like:

iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT


This is a fairly liberal rule so you may want to add some other conditions like "-s <IP>" and put whatever IP or IP range you want to give access to.

If your router/modem does the firewalling then you will want to create a similar rule on your modem...but you should consult the documentation for your particular modem on the right way to do that

Your first step would be to ensure that the SSHD service is running. You can either check your list of running processes or run ps aux | grep sshd.

To test if the port 22 is open you can run nmap -p 22 localhost

If it is open and you can't get through to it from the outside....then your router/firewall may be blocking access...configurations may need to be tweaked.

Let i kno...

thanks foor your information,
i don't have any firewall, so i think it's easy but i didn't kno the command.
thanks ;-)
