I can run the script, but no sshd is launched: $ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ] $ pgrep -l sshd || echo Not There Not There If I launch sshd manually, it gives me a proper error message: sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -Dd debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-6ubuntu1 [snip] debug1: Bind to port 22 on 192.168.0.5.
