sshd setup

[simonC]

Does anybody know how to set-up sshd?

I was looking in the forum and following the instructions. So far, mine is not working. I just want to see if it works in my local home network first.

Here is my sshd_config
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
Port 22
Protocol 2
ListenAddress x.x.x.x <- Here I put the IP machine

# HostKey for protocol version 1
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
# HostKeys for protocol version 2
#HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key

# Lifetime and size of ephemeral version 1 server key
KeyRegenerationInterval 1h
ServerKeyBits 768

# Logging
#obsoletes QuietMode and FascistLogging
SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel INFO

# Authentication:

LoginGraceTime 2m
PermitRootLogin no
StrictModes yes

#RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys

# For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
#RhostsRSAAuthentication no
# similar for protocol version 2
#HostbasedAuthentication no
# Change to yes if you don't trust ~/.ssh/known_hosts for
# RhostsRSAAuthentication and HostbasedAuthentication
#IgnoreUserKnownHosts no
# Don't read the user's ~/.rhosts and ~/.shosts files
#IgnoreRhosts yes

# Change to yes to enable built-in password authentication.
PasswordAuthentication yes
PermitEmptyPasswords no

# Change to no to disable PAM authentication
#ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes

# Kerberos options
#KerberosAuthentication no
#KerberosOrLocalPasswd yes
#KerberosTicketCleanup yes
#KerberosGetAFSToken no

# GSSAPI options
#GSSAPIAuthentication no
#GSSAPICleanupCredentials yes

# Set this to 'no' to disable PAM authentication (via challenge-response)
# and session processing.
#UsePAM yes

#AllowTcpForwarding yes
#GatewayPorts no
#X11Forwarding yes
#X11DisplayOffset 10
#X11UseLocalhost yes
PrintMotd yes
#PrintLastLog yes
#TCPKeepAlive yes

#UseLogin no
#UsePrivilegeSeparation yes
#PermitUserEnvironment no
#Compression yes
#ClientAliveInterval 0
#ClientAliveCountMax 3
#UseDNS yes
#PidFile /var/run/sshd.pid
#MaxStartups 10

# no default banner path
#Banner /some/path
AllowUsers rvs

# override default of no subsystems
Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/sftp-server
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

In rc.conf,
sshd_enable="YES"

In inetd.conf
ssh stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/sshd sshd -i -4
ssh stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/sshd sshd -i -6

I don't know what else I can do.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Is sshd not running at all, or can you just not connect to it? I must have set it up on my wife's mac, since I ssh into it sometimes, but I would have to dig around to see what I did.

[simonC]

Not connect at all. I know that is working because I did ps, but I can't make it accept connections.

[flibbum]

Does it give any kind of error, or does it just time out or something? Also, I noticed you have Protocol 2 as the protocol, but have a key for protocol 1 listed. I'm not sure if that's the problem, but you might want to try Protocol 2,1 and see what happens.

Are you running the firewall? If so, have you opened up port 22?

[simonC]

It is giving timeout. For firewall, I change the "in" keyword by "on" in port22.

Including, I disable firewall commented out the lines in rc.conf. Now that you mention firewall, commenting out the lines in rc.conf is the right way to disable it?

Are sure your network is fine ?

How do you connect to each other ?

Are you using switch hub ?

You better double check your connection :!:

Try to do ping commnd :wink:
