Well I am trying to setup SSH, but when I was trying to restarting it, I would see that sshd_do_not_run or something similar file was stoping me. How do I deal with this?
Maybe its not LSH, but when I opened up the /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run file, I figured it was LSH that was stopping it.
All the commands are being run from terminal in my mac to my debian box.
How do I know if my key authentication is working? When I SSH in to my box (ssh user@192.168.0.100) from terminal in mac, all I get prompted for is user's password. I'm I not supposed to be asked what is the pass phrase for my key?
If you have 2.6.18 then you're on Etch and shouldn't even have a sshd_not_to_be_run. Do you have both openssh-server and openssh-client installed? Just remove sshd_not_to_be_run to get sshd to start.
Or are you actually running sshd from inetd? /etc/inetd.conf. It should be its own daemon, not run from inetd, even in oldstable.

Actually this is a fresh install on a newer system, and I am using the latest Debian.
So what should I do? Do I simply delete the file, and that's it? As of now, I can log in to SSH with my mac to my linux box, but I'm not asked for the RSA key. What would cause this?
