You may have to run "urpmi openssh-server" to install it. I don't
remember if the server is installed by default. I always install it...
If it isn't running, you can start it wil "service sshd start".
I don't believe the default install will let you log in as root. What
you usualy do is log in on the local machine as a normal user. If that
user also has an account on the remote machine, then you can run
"ssh <remote machine>" and connect. If not, then you can use the -l
option to specify the remote user.
"ssh <remote machine> -l <remote user>"
From 192.168.1.1, to connect to 192.168.1.2, it the sshd service is
running on 192.168.1.2, you would run:
ssh 192.168.1.2
or
ssh 192.168.1.2 -l rosemary
Home from work early and mucked around with ssh with IRC channel help
and can now get this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ssh 192.168.1.2
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.2' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

Thanks a lot. I've got lots of notes so hopefully have learnt
something. Got a little bit of info on dnsmasq so reading that shortly.
