I can't ssh to puppy from suse

#1 Post by ostkaka »

I can't ssh to puppy from suse-linux but I can ssh from puppy to suse. I have installed sshd on puppy but when i try: ssh 192.168.0.2 I get the message: ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.2 port 22: Connection refused.

Anyone who can help?

Here is a troubleshooting processs. You may have already done some of them so take what you need from it:

First make sure that you can ssh the local computer in Puppy

Code: Select all

ssh localhost
If you cannot, then there is something wrong on your local installation or on your sshd configuration file. Check that the sshd process is actually running

Code: Select all

ps -e | grep sshd
. If you are connecting as root, make sure that you've setup the password for root

Code: Select all

passwd
If you can connect locally then try pinging the Puppy computer from SuSE.

If you cannot ping then check your network connections and configuration.

If you can ping make sure that you don't have a firewall running under Puppy or that port 22 is open on that firewall

If you don't have a firewall and everything is OK, then come back for some extra advice (That means that I have no clue and we'll have to investigate a little bit more)

I have set the password for root, and I can ping both the computers.
It seems that it is my sshd deamon that is not running, Im new to puppy so I mabye havent configured it right. I downloaded it from www.openssh.com and installed it with puppys package manager. is there soumething else I shall do before I can start the sshd deamon?

Actually your problem is not the configuration. The problem is that you didn't install it.

When you download someething from the creator, it is either a binary for a particular distribution or the source code. In this case I am sure you downloaded the source.

Download the puppy package from here and read my second post in that thread for instructions.
