The dhclient is a client (just as the ssh program), while the system has to run some kind of SSH _server_ (sshd on FreeBSD for example). Additionally, network configuration and especially firewall has to _permit_ the access to that specific service (that has to be enabled). > > The way _how_ to enable it depends on the distribution you're > > using and is very different among the Linusi. > > rt., and this is fedora, my least fav distro.

There is a nice summary on how to get the OpenSSH server set up on Fedora: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Configuring_Fedora_Linux_Remote_Access_using_SSH Basically, it's about installing and enabling it. The article also discusses how to enable configure the firewall properly. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
