Hello, I am running etch on a dell laptop. I recently installed ssh: aptitude install ssh and started it: /etc/init.d/ssh start yet when I look for open ports with nmap localhost, port 22 is not open. When I run # ps -e | grep ssh I get 3450 ? 00:00:00 ssh-agent
# ps aux | grep ssh john 3450 0.0 0.0 4132 692 ? Ss 09:24 0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session x-session-manager root 22026 0.0 0.0 2852 712 pts/0 S+ 17:43 0:00 grep ssh However, I cannot ssh into my host. The contents of /etc/default/ssh is # cat /etc/default/ssh # Default settings for openssh-server. This file is sourced by /bin/sh from # /etc/init.d/ssh. # Options to pass to sshd SSHD_OPTS= Any clues? Also, how do I check the status of a service? On SUSE, I used /etc/init.d/service-name status John
