is the ssh server package installed? not sure if 6.2 even had an ssh server in there. that's very old. 1. upgrade your OS to something more recent. 2. if you can't do #1, make sure you've got new packages for sendmail and openssh installed. if you can't get new packages (you probably can't), install things from source. sendmail and openssh had remote root bugs. sendmail had several. but #2 is doing a disservice (me to you, and you to your client/employer). that server needs to be upgraded. if the client/employer won't upgrade, quit and find another job. they're too stupid to work for. anyway, you should check to see if sshd is even on that box. su -l or sudo su -l which sshd if it's not there, you need to find a package for ssh or install from source. as noted above, install from source. if it's there, can you ssh from that server to itself? is the sshd server running? ps auxw | grep -v grep | grep sshd if it's not running, run it. that depends on how ssh is installed. if from packages, service sshd start probably does the trick. else, look in /etc/init.d/ to see if there is an *ssh* file in there. if there isn't, then you'll need to find where ssh is installed on that box. start looking in /usr/local. post here what you see. tiger _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
