SSH installation and running [solved]

[Guest HDCEL]

Hi THere

 

I really have a problem here.

 

I just installed the Mandriva 2008 ONE. Everything is working perfect, except I cant get ssh to install or start.

 

In software management I can see openSSH is installed, and all other ssh things are installed, so I hope this is correct.

 

I have tried several things in the konsole to start the service, with out any help.

 

urpmi ssh-server

Here it says. No package names ssh-server

 

or service sshd start

 

I have root access

Here it says. Cannot find sshd service

 

In the service, I cant see SSH either

 

In the ssh folder there is only a ssh_config file

 

THX

Have you tried

 

urpmi openssh-server

 

?

The name of the needed package is "openssh-server" indeed.

[ianw1974]

urpmi ssh-server

 

should have worked, at least it always did in Mandriva 2006 and 2007, unless they changed something. The package is called openssh-server, but Mandriva did manage to figure out that if you just did ssh-server it would get the right package.

 

Sounds to me like you don't have your repositories set up and hence why you can't install it. I would try this from the command line:

 

urpmf --name ssh-server

 

and if no response, then no repos are configured:

 

urpmq --list-media

 

will reply with a list of repos you have configured. So you can post that list here if you can't get it working. Repos can be set up using the easyurpmi link at the top of this page.

Unstalled the ssh.

 

found a new mirror, and installed the ssh server and client.

 

it is now under services, and can be started. So its working now.

 

THx for all help.
