Sshd in dreamlinux

i cant find any documentation but sshd wont launch at startup, and even when i launch it manually on the machine i cant connect.

its so much easier on arch theres two files to manually edit after you install the package. i though dreamlinux ( debian lenny ) would configure it all automatically but it seems not to be the case.

anyone have experience with setting up sshd manually in debian?

where is the init. d config?
where is hosts_allow?

i dont think there is a firewall installed but i may have to install one to open up the ports.

any advice appreciated (except install windows cos that would be a step down)

Have you tried:

sudo /etc/init. d/ssh restart

yeah i can get it started, but it refuses connection from outside, and i need it to launch at startup. might have to change distro the documentation is very poor and the forums are locked up like fort knox

I presume you've opened a port in /etc/ssh/ssh_config

(This is a Gn00be talking to an advanced user, so sorry if I'm stating the obvious. Just trying to see if anything helps)

I do now [EDIT]. I was thinking he was trying to get access to the already set up server. A check either way wouldn't hurt. Thanks.

ps -A | grep sshd

will tell you if it's running.

sudo netstat --inet -lpn | grep sshd

Then that will tell you what port it's listening for.

Doing an nmap on the target machine may tell you the ports visible perhaps.

What error does it give when you try it? . Like a this type of login is not allowed or something like that? .

argh no it fell off the port bow... ha windows

i think it is iptables maybe blocking connections XD its starting up now there is a config dialog for services. ive locked this down for the kids and theres grubby finger prints on the screen hahaha so i had to clean that, so now i think i just have to configure iptables to allow ssh through and it should work.
