Title: SSH help Reqd.
Post by: tickmike on November 22, 2011, 09:54:36 PM
I have got Two 'Test' Machines running on my home network and I'm trying to set up SSH on them,
On PCLos we can set it up with a GUI in the control panel (which I have done).

How do I check its running ?.

If it's running, I presume that there will be an active process called ssh (or maybe sshd). You can see all the active processes by typing 'ps -e' in a terminal, or if you use KDE you can see the processes in a GUI by hitting Ctrl+Esc.

Thanks Eric, On both machines since setting up SSH last night they were both not running  :'(, In system services the 'Start on boot' tick box was UN-ticked  >:D odd !.

Re .."or if you use KDE you can see the processes in a GUI by hitting Ctrl+Esc." I did not know that.  ;)

I'm trying to generate a 'Keygen'
[root@localhost ~]# ssh-keygen -t dsa

I follow all the questions and it says it's been done ok.

I then use "below" to send it to the other machine but keep getting the error.

[root@localhost ~]# ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_dsa.pub me@192.168.0.131
15
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found



Any idea's what's wrong ?.

Solved
I used the Default directories and it worked ok. ;)

Very good :)

I'm afraid I have no experience of SSH, so I wasn't any help.
