Mageia forum

have installed Dropbear…
it works on startup…
but refuses all connections…
help...

Is there a firewall rule in place to allow port 22?
Regards peter

firewall is off just so I can get this sorted...

OK.
This is actually working now.
So I just need VNC working… my other thread…

No sorry...

Hint:



BTW: I'm curious, is there any particular reasons why you're using dropbear in favour of openssh-server?

Openssh-server did not seem to work… not sure why, I installed it etc….
is it better ?

Did you start it after installing? It does not need configuration, but you have to start it if you want to use it, as with all programs ...

can't remember, tried a few times then just installed the above...

For reference, here's the link to the other thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2759

And the info how to install openssh-server via Mageia packages:

adding the ssh server is rather easy:

Code: Select all

urpmi sshd && service sshd start

It will automatically start at runlevel 2 to 5.

Can't get much easier than that, i'm afraid.

that is easy… I would have done that first time had i known.

Well, maybe you should have asked beforehand?
