Simply changing the sshd_config shouldn't require a reboot. You should be able to just restart the ssh server daemon. If it doesn't come up, it sounds like a typo. You should be able to run 'sshd -T" to test your config files before restarting to see if there are any problems before restarting the server daemon. Not sure what you mean by having to be logged in though. You can make the changes, test them, then restart the daemon if successful on the test. The restart of the daemon will kick you out, but if the test was successful, you should be able to log back in. The config files in the /etc/ssh directory are where everything needs to go, configuration wise. The rc.local files are just startup file with certain options to be passed to the server daemon as it starts up. You shouldn't have any configuration parameters there. > Waiting for the coffee to kick in. > > Thanks Mark. > > Cheers, Gene Heskett Cheers, Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
