(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

openssh-server was installed from the package manager and I saw no prompts to enable or change settings when installing it.

I have tried to find in /etc the sshd folder but not found it.

I have looked ion the Boot Manager to manage system services and ssh is already ticked, but I assume this is the client?

Also wondering if the issue is because there is no password for root or spot.

No dependences are missing.

I am trying to connect from local network using
ssh root@192.168.12.77 and
ssh spot@192.168.1.77

I can ping to it so know it is there.

I have gone through the firewall set up and allowed ssh from anyone and also opened up all services from my local network 192.168.1.1/24

Connection refused.
please help

I vaguely recollect someone else having the problem of no ssh server startup script being present. At a guess the package assumes one would be included in the distro its sourced from.
