Enable ssh

filosofos · 05-15-2006, 01:05 PM

Hello All

I just finished my installation of Slackware 10.2 and finished also my
installation of Samba.

I tried to login from my Windows to my Linux machine with PUTTY, with SSH but is not working.

Is it possible for someone to tell me where I have to go and enable it so my machine can accept ssh requests?

I don't want to connect with telnet. Only SSH.

Thank you very much!

What do you mean by "not working"?
Post some errors.

Um, for the benefit of posterity, can you explain what the problem was and how you fixed it?

I assume he launched "pkgtool" as root, then followed the menus to setup -> services and enabled the ssh server from there.
