Hi all,

 

I installed SSH on v5 as per my previous post:

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=22453.new;topicseen#new

 

and it was working perfectly, but then I rebooted the server to add some hardware and it now no longer works. :-(

 

The log says it's starting it but the binary file is missing for some reason:

CMD: /etc/rc.d/rc.openssh start

Results: OpenSSH Started

 

End: September 16, 2012 05:50:54 PM

 

When I try to start it manually from the command line it doesn't work.

 

It looks like it's eventually trying to call this bin file

root@Tower:/var/log/plugins# ls /usr/sbin/sshd

/bin/ls: cannot access /usr/sbin/sshd: No such file or directory

 

 

I've tried to re-install it but it just errors that it's already been installed.

 

I've also added this line to my 'go' file:

installplg /boot/config/plugins/opensshd-0.5-i486-rj.plg

Seems to make no difference

 

Any help would be greatly appreaciated!

 

Thanks,

Danny

Bump...

If /usr/sbin/sshd is missing, then that's a good sign the SSH package has not installed.  The reason for this is hard to determine as the plugin should just reinstall two of the needed packages upon reboot.

 

What happens when you try to install the plugin manually? 

installplg /boot/config/plugins/opensshd-0.5-i486-rj.plg

 

You could try starting fresh.

 

Make a backup of /boot/config/plugins/openssh directory and then delete that directory.  eg. the directory you see shared as /flash/config/plugins/openssh

 

Delete files "openssl-solibs-0.9.8x-i486-1_slack13.1.txz" and "openssh-5.9p1-i486-2_slack13.37.txz" from /flash/packages directory.

 

Delete the plg file "opensshd-0.5-i486-rj.plg" from /flash/config/plugins and re-download.  But don't put a fresh copy there until after you've done a clean reboot.  Then manually install the plugin as above so that you see what's happening.  If you get any errors, post them here.

 

Check /usr/sbin/sshd now exists.

 

Go to the webgui and verify the plugin is there, configure as required and try to enable.  It should start, but if for some reason it does not, then from command line, try to manaully start ssh;

/etc/rc.d/rc.openssh start

 

Check to see if the SSHD process is running;

ps -ef | grep /usr/sbin/sshd | grep -v grep

 

 

 

 

Thank you ever so much overbyrn!

 

I re-installed it as per your instructions and it worked.
