Well, that was easier then anticipated. Rebooted and it works fine now. Thanks medvedd.

I have a fresh installation of openSUSE 11.2 and when I restart the computer and check the status of sshd service after rebooting using &quot;/etc/init.d/sshd status&quot; it tells me the service is not running and when I try to connect of course it tells me the connection is refused. <br />
<br />
So each time I reboot the server I have to type &quot;service sshd start&quot; then the service starts then I can connect via SSH.<br />
<br />
My question is; what setting(s) do I need to change to force sshd service to start automatically when the server starts? <br />
<br />
This is a fresh installation of openSUSE 11.2 and I have not made any changes to the system yet.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Dan

Start SSHD Automatically on SUSE Reboot

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Linux Networking

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
