OK. I've updated openssh from yast online update. (No, I had no
security updates or anything.
Yes, I'm a bad boy. I'll blame it on having had a dial-up only for so long.)
The rpm checks out OK. This is what happens when I try to start sshd.
First, using the
rc script, then directly:
linux:~ # rcsshd start
Starting SSH daemon
failed
linux:~ # sshd
linux:~ # ssh 127.0.0.1
ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused
linux:~ # rpm -qf `which sshd`
openssh-3.8p1-37.17
linux:~ #
Just to prove to you doubters that it really does kind-of connect OK
to port 22, here's
the output from strace:
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(22),
sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0
getsockname(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(32776),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, [16]) = 0
close(3) = 0
That last close is a bit suspicious. Especially because there were no
dup/dup2 calls. Yes,
I did an ltrace also - but it didn't help either.
I even tried "rcSuSEfirewall2 stop" before trying to start sshd, but
no joy either.
Giving up for the night,
Carl.
