From what you write below, sshd seems NOT to be running. Specifically, you write (reformatted a bit):
if I use the ps | grep sshd command I see 31509 root 892 S grep sshd This is just the entry for the grep process you ran, not one for sshd itself. (That's the real reason why you don't see anything sshd-related with "ps ax".) If sshd were running, you should be seeing a line that looks something like this one (from my Debian system, so Bering might look a bit different in the details): 189 ? S 0:01 /usr/sbin/sshd Since I don't use Bering here, I can't tell you specifically how to start sshd. For TESTING purposes, you probably can just start it from the command line, as root. And I bet if you read the Bering docs carefully, you'll find out how to start sshd properly. I also didn't realize, or forgot, that Bering (apparently) doesn't include the "netstat" command. I don't usually bypass it myself, but I *think* you can cat /proc/net/tcp and look for an entry indicating listening on 0016 ( the hex equivalent to 22 decimal). Something like this: 4: 00000000:0016 00000000:0000 0A 00000000:00000000 00:00000000 00000000 0 0 219 1 e7c16a20 300 0 0 2 -1 At 12:02 PM 9/4/02 -0700, Craig wrote: >Hi folks, >I'll try to combine my responses to all of the suggestions. 1.)

I hope this helps, thank you. -- -------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
