SSH on Debian 5.0

[gpbworld]

I have installed Debian Lenny 5 and am trying to access the server via SSH port 22 but it keeps telling me : Connection refused

Any ideas how to enable this SSH on Debian server for connections ???

[coopstah13]

did you install ssh package yet?

can you ping machine?

[scathefire]

maybe something like:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start

Are you shure you have installed ssh on the system?

do it with

apt-get install $package-name

or with the synaptic via X11.

then make shure it is running:

ps -efa | grep sshd

if it is not the run

/etc/init.d/ssh start

[System6Hosting]

"apt-get install $package-name"

Where "$package-name" could be ssh

aptitude install ssh

Debian meta-package ssh includes both openssh-client and openssh-server. Also make sure your firewall (iptables, bastille, etc) isn't blocking the port.

You can also try:

netstat -tulpn and see if anything is bound to port 22. If there is it is probably ssh server running.

To install SSH server you need to run the following command as root:

apt-get install openssh-server

You should then be able to SSH into the server
