SSH Server Setup

Hey All -

Very much a newbie here, so bear with me. My ultimate goal here is to be
able to login to my RH 7.x box remotely using SSH from another pc that is
inside my LAN, i.e. should not have firewall issues.

I have been told that I need to make sure the SSH server daemon is installed
AND running. But I am not too sure on how to check this. And if it is not
installed, I am having problems installing it.

# rpm -qa | grep ssh
openssh-3.1p1-3
kdessh-3.0.0-4
openssh-askpass-3.1p1-3
openssh-askpass-gnome-3.1p1-3
openssh-clients-3.1p1-3


So my question(s) are:
How do I install the most recent SSH server package?

How do I ensure start the SSH daemon?

How do I set ensure that the SSH daemon is started automatically upon system
start up?


Many thanks,
Brian

You don't seem to be having 'openssh-server' pkg.

up2date openssh-server
apt-get install openssh-server

or goto RHN and download it manually and install.

/etc/init.d/sshd start

chkconfig --list |grep sshd
chkconfig --level 2345 sshd on

Check,

man chkconfig
/etc/init.d/sshd
