Hi I have a domain server at home to which I would like to install OpenSSH but haben't been successful. Anybody done something similar even though is using something else other than OpenSSH??? Help
 
OpenSSH is really simple to install. I have it running on a couple of servers. What exactly are u having issues with?
 
i did the installation with no problem, but I got stuck on creating users and configuration after it has been installed.
 
If you read the documentation.. all u need to do is to run the mkpasswd (don't recall the entire syntax since ) command and it will add any user account domain/local

Ex)

For a domain account: mkpasswd -d -u login domain >> ..\etc\passwd
where login is the login name of the execute-as user and domain is the user domain.

For a local account: mkpasswd -l -u login >> ..\etc\passwd
where login is the login name of the execute-as user.

Before you give up RTFM.. HTH
 
thanks I finally got it working last night..
