Thanks, James. That's what I was hoping. Further and better particulars will have to wait until I get back to the computer, I'm afraid.
Anything in particular? So far, I was I just enabling sshd (chkconfig --levels 345 sshd on), turning off the firewall (chkconfig --levels 345 iptables off) and then "shutdown -r now". Upon reboot, no sshd. Now I know what to expect, I can dig around more specifically. Tim On 25 Oct 2011, at 10:52, James Heather wrote: > You've understood correctly.
