Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

hi all
me using redhat on server and open suse on clint.when i want to ssh from my server machine the following error occur
"connection refuse"
i execute the following command on clien machine
"/etc/init.d/sshd start"
it shows the following error just after command execution
"sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path"
For suse, run "sudo /usr/sbin/rcsshd start" to start the sshd server. Most services have an rc script you use to start or stop a service manually. You can use the YaST2 services module to start it as well. You can also use chkconfig.
For one-off starting an stopping, use rcsshd. To have it start automatically use YaST2 or chkconfig.
You will need to configure your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, enable ssh (port 22) in the firewall, check the permissions of /home/, /home/username/, /home/username/.ssh/ and your private key.
Be sure you run "ssh-keygen" to generate a pair of keys if you haven't already. This will create your ~/.ssh directory and a pair of keys.
OpenSuSE uses the "users" group by default to allow users to share directories via samba. You may need to remove read access to your home directory's "users" default group so sshd doesn't balk at permissions.
I can't test this because the first thing I do is create a group for myself and change my default group.
