RH 7.2. Open SSH 3.1

I need help on how to set up Open SSH. I checked tldp.org, but can't find any How-To for it there. Can someone point me in the right direction to get configuration info?


So far I've installed various OpenSSH packages, including openssh-server:

# rpm -qa | grep ssh
openssh-askpass-3.1p1-6
openssh-server-3.1p1-6
openssh-3.1p1-6
openssh-askpass-gnome-3.1p1-6
openssh-clients-3.1p1-6


Assuming you've installed the Red Hat packages, the startup script will
generate the host keys for you.  Did you install the official packages
from the OpenSSH project site instead?  If that's the case, I would
uninstall them, download the openssh* packages from a Red Hat download
mirror, and install them.

Run "chkconfig --list sshd" to see if sshd is enabled by default.  If it
isn't, you'll need to edit it to start at boot.  Probably something like
"chkconfig --level 345 sshd on".  Then you'll still need to start the
service with "service sshd start".  If the post-install RPM script
didn't already create your host keys, this will.

HTH.

Hmmm, I did install all the OpenSSH packages from Red Hat RPMs. Evidently the post-install RPM script didn't create any keys. The `chkconfig` command shows sshd set to run at levels 345 though:


# /sbin/chkconfig --list sshd
sshd            0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
#

Is `service` and actual command? I can't find a man entry for it:

# service sshd start
bash: service: command not found
#

Thanks.
