SSH connection problem

[Nutounix]

How do tell is ssh is installed and running on my solaris 8 v120 box. I am using Putty as a client but get a connection refused message when trying to connect.

first try a 'pkginfo | grep ssh' if that comes up with nothing, try searching for sshd under opt or usr

find /opt -name sshd
find /usr -name sshd

if non of the above report anything back, then it looks like you have not got in on your system.

If you do, check under /etc/init.d for a sshd entry. If there is one, try to start it manually and then try an connect using PuTTY i.e.

/etc/init.d/sshd start


You can see if it is running by doing the following:

netstat -an | grep '*.22 '

if you get something like this:

*.22 *.* 0 0 24576 0 LISTEN

Then sshd is listening for connections...

Thanks,I tried and found nothing. Where can I get a ssh package and how hard is it to install?

There's a good set of instructions here:

You can also download the software there.
