How do I configure SSH to run as a service on startup ?
Help
Hi
Normally it’s started by default?
sudo /sbin/chkconfig sshd on
Or if you need a GUI 
via YaST->System->System Services (runlevel)

Agreed, and you can verify this a couple ways:
/sbin/chkconfig -l sshd
#(should return a line with ‘2, 3, 4, and 5’ highlighted as I recall
pgrep sshd
#should give you a process ID
netstat -anp | grep 'LISTEN ’ | grep 22
#should show you SSH listening on port 22
Good luck.

Also You could of course ssh to the localhost to check if the daemon has started.
Make sure to enable port 22 in the firewall.
netstat -an | grep ‘LISTEN’ | grep 22
should suffice to check if the system is listening. -p will give you the process ID, which is not of use in this instance.
