[cobalt-users] SSH PKG not restarting

[Josh Kuperman <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I installed the secure shell package. Since I'm still messing around
with the machine I restart it quite a bit. Every time I restart it, it
remains selected on the easy web base user interface.

I decided to see if it was restarting on the current runlevel, run level 3.

When I examine the rc files, particularly /etc/rc.d/rc3.d I see that
the file K25sshd is a symlink to /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd, which is
correct. This file kills the process if it is running when it enters
runlevel 3. The is no corresponding "S" or startup file. 

When I install a package do I have to then go in and manually
configure everything? This seems to defeat the purpose. Also, it seems
that I need to enable telnet in order to allow users shell access. I
don't want shell access, but I do want ssh access. I commented out the
line for telnet in /etc/inetd.conf which works. But now I get a mail
message saying telnet is down. I thought of making the telnet daemon a
link to the ssh daemon, but of course one of the importan feature is
that ssh is independent of inetd. I suppose I could leave the telnet
daemon running and use tcpwrappers to not allow access -- but that is
kind of stupid as well.

Any ideas.
