hello,
I have an openSUSE 11.1 and I noticed that after installing a couple of things on it the sshd is not starting anymore on reboot. how can I debug this problem. Is there a log file so that I can see what was the problem?
If I want to use ssh I have to start it from yast every time the computer restarts.
Thanks
you don’t say what desktop environment you use (if any) so i assume KDE3:
open YaST, go “Network Services” (on the left, and ) > Network
Services (on the right), then when the “Network Service Configuration”
window is populated, select the “Enable” radio button, and scroll down
to “sshd”, highlight it with a mouse click and then use the “Toggle
Status (On or Off)” button to set it to on…
then click “Finish”…
and, if you are lucky (and your system/YaST is not otherwise damaged)
you shouldn’t have to restart it each boot…
now, i hope that is not what you have been doing during what you wrote
as “If I want to use ssh I have to start it from yast every time the
computer restarts.” otho, i don’t know of another way to start it
using YaST…
in my mind, my directions don’t “start it” instead it “sets it to
auto-start”…

I found this in /var/log/messeges:
gnome-keyring-daemon: couldn’t lookup ssh component setting: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See GConf configuration system for information. (Details - 1: Not running within active session)
I am running gnome desktop environment but I don’t find sshd in the network services dialog.
hmmmm…i’m surprised it is not in the network services…hmmm, my
man says sshd it is normally started from /etc/rc which i thought was
directly accessed from YaST…
OH! go YaST > System (on left) > System Services - Run Level (on
right)…in “Simple Mode” scroll down to sshd, highlight it with a
left click and then click “Enable” and then “Finish”…
that should have it start with boot…as for the error, that is a
different thing, the error tells you what to look at…so, do that and
ask again if you can’t figure it out after reading some…

I’ve done that but after a reboot I must re-enable it again. In the System Services -> Run Level it is a column (Enabled) and for the sshd line it says Yes* with that star. The help says that * means is enabled but not running how can I investigate further?
I noticed the “Yes*” on multiple services.

oh, well i guess you said that in a round about way before, but yes,
when it says “Yes *” it means it is set to start but did not, for
some reason…
and, you have the reason it is not running (though told to) given in
that error message you quoted yesterday!
i guess (are you getting the idea i don’t claim to be the guru you
seem to need) that the error you got which said it wasn’t running
was correct and you need to look into the possible reasons causing the
inability to “lookup ssh component setting”…
what i wonder about, so i ask it again: you wrote “If I want to use
ssh I have to start it from yast every time the computer restarts.”
and i wonder how you are starting it with YaST…

DD. is right. You should set it to start at boot in runlevels 2 3 5, in the runlevel editor in Yast. You can check it’s status in a terminal window:
su -c 'rcsshd status'
(enter rootpassword)
It should return, in green on the right side of the screen: ‘running’

In a terminal, get yourself root (“su -”, don’t forget the dash). Then run “chkconfig sshd”. It
should reply “sshd on”. If it says “sshd off”, then run “chkconfig sshd on” (and check).
If it said “sshd on”, but the service did not run at boot, then search the “/var/log/boot.msg” for
clues about “ssh”. Paste the pertinent lines here (not the entire file).
(The “gnome-keyring-daemon” error is not directly related).
