    SSH question

    Hello, I have a desktop in which I installed OpenSSH server to connect from other machines in the network. OpenSSH server is set by default to start every time the machine boots, I do not want that. Actually I only want to start the server when I want to with /etc/init.d/ssh start.

    Is there a way to to stop services from starting when the machine boots?

    Thanks in advance.

    update-rc.d is quite tricky.
    so i suggest you to install sysv-rc-conf
    # sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf
    after installing it
    execute this

    # sudo sysv-rc-conf
    sysv-rc-conf is chkconfig version in debian.

    to do this graphically you can install bum - boot up manager
    # sudo apt-get install bum
    you can find it under Syste>Administration after installation
    Never make any misteaks.
