I have some problems running the ssh daemon.
I am installing ssh on 2 computers, one at home
and one at the university. Both are Linux, RedHat
based 6.x systems.
The computer at the unversity is working with no
problems, both the server and the client seem to work.
Even tho, that the instalation was done in the
same manner on both systems, I can't get the sshd
to start ssh on my home computer. The only difference
I can find in the two systems, is that my home box already
had ssh install.
Here are the data I have been able to gather regarding
the problem in my home computer :
1. I first try instaling from RPM with no success.
I was getting a :
"200.53.50.20" closed the conection
2. I downloaded the source and installed :
zlib, open-ssl & open-ssh.
I did : configure, make & make install
[ After installing from RPM I deleted all the ssh* files
I could find, in several directories. To not have conflicts
with the RPM previous installation ]
3. There isn't a "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd" file as there
is on the University box. I cant figure out why ...
4. Here is output of "/usr/sbin/sshd -d"
