ssh listening on port 22

sharpie · 06-04-2004, 08:31 PM

I have every line commented in inetd.conf, yet ssh is listening on port 22. Obviously I can cure this by deleting the ssh deamon, as I'm not using it anyway, I just would like to know how this is listening when every line under inetd.conf is commented out?

sharpie,

sshd is typically run independent of inetd. Check your init scripts (/etc/init.d, /etc/rc.d, /etc/init.d/rc.?) to see where it is run. You can probably just rename the binary (/usr/sbin/sshd -> /usr/sbin/sshd-norun).

Good Luck,
chris

chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd

service sshd stop?

Hi,

why not

update-rc.d -f ssh remove

this won't cause a slow shutdown while trying to stop a non existent daemon or an error message

Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the port you want it to listen on. If you want to stop it altogether:
chkconfig --level 23456 sshd off
then service sshd stop

You guys must not be familure with Slackware...

Aeiri got it right.

Just make it nonexecutable? Won't that just generate errors in your startup log when it's called?

MS3FGX · 06-08-2004, 01:04 AM

Slackware checks if the file exists and is executable before it tries to execute it, so there wouldn't be any errors if the file wasn't there, or was non-executable.

Cool, thanks.
