Make sure ssh is installed.
Example:
# rpm -qa |grep ssh
openssh-clients-3.1p1-6
openssh-3.1p1-6
openssh-askpass-gnome-3.1p1-6
openssh-server-3.1p1-6
openssh-askpass-3.1p1-6
To see what runlevel you are at.
Example (shows at runlevel 3):
# runlevel
N 3
Check if sshd is enabled for your run level.
Example (This is what my Redhat 7.3 box shows):
# chkconfig --list sshd
sshd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
To set your server so that sshd starts automaticlly for runlevel 2, 3, 4 and
5, run this:
# chkconfig --level 2345 sshd on
See if sshd is currently running.
Example:
# ps -ef|grep sshd
root 1030 1 0 14:32 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd
root 2351 1030 0 15:11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd
If sshd is not currently running, start it.
Example:
# service sshd start
Starting sshd: [ OK ]
The default /etc/ssh/sshd_config daemon file should allow sshd to work, but
to make modifications, modify this file (then restart sshd):
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
service sshd restart
