Hi

The default settings should allow ssh to work after an install.

What problem are you getting??

Cheers

An error message would be helpful.

If ssh is not working, it may be a network/firewall issue and nothing to do with your installation.

The default settings should work.

Diagnostic:

inetd -l

# turns on enhanced logging.

Try to do an inbound ssh command to the machine from somewhere else.

then look at /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

If there is a problem, you will see it there. If all is well, then move on.

I generally modify the sshd_config and its sister files to block outside ssh access that keeps locking up root user on my trusted systems.

Hi

I did
cat sshd_config|grep -v "#"
to give u a exact copy of the configuration file on a SD9000 trusted server. The output is below

Protocol 2
PermitRootLogin no
KerberosAuthentication yes
X11Forwarding yes
X11UseLocalhost no
Subsystem sftp /opt/ssh/libexec/sftp-server

The "PermitRootLogin" is part of a security implimentation, which u can decide whether to turn ON or OFF. Pls comapre ur file with this output. With this configuration sshd is working properly in my server.
