Hi,
I’m trying to set up ssh access to my openSUSE 13.2 machine and based on the info in this forum is seems that the yast2-sshd is deprecated. That being so what should I use instead?
Thanks and regards,
Jim Hudd.

I had never heard of yast2-ssh until recently. So I guess I didn’t need it.
You can set options for sshd in “/etc/ssh/sshd_config”. There’s a man page for that file, so it isn’t difficult to work out what the options are. And then you can use the Yast Services Manager to start/enable the service. And you may need to go to firewall settings if you want to allow external access.
In truth, I normally do much this during install. On the install summary page, near the bottom, there’s spot to click to enable the “sshd” service, and another nearby place to click to open the firewall for ssh. Those options should be available with install using the DVD installer or the Network installer.
These guides are worth a read too:

Thanks for the help. I didn’t think to look and see if it was as simple as enabling a service!
