Random Guess... did you restart the SSH daemon?

you can either HUP sshd or reboot the system.

Yes, I tried* both.

[Full disclosure edit: sshd is not running all the time, so HUPing sshd was unsuccessful--I got a "No matching processes belonging to you were found" message.]

ok then which sshd.conf file did you change? what was the full path to it?

--Zed :cool:

trevor 11-30-2005 07:37 AM
/etc/sshd_config

hehe just got it working here...

it appears that sshd is not really running... apple must be running it under a different process.. not look yet.. but anyway do this:

sudo sshd

then try to connect again to 2222

--Zed :cool:

Yes, that works. Hmmm. What is the mechanism that usually launches sshd and makes it listen on port 22, ignoring /etc/sshd_config? Is that xinetd? So how do I configure xinetd (if that is correct) to launch sshd but not ignore sshd_config?

Trevor

nothing to do with xinetd... the ssh that's running on 22 is control from the sharing control panel.

I'm not sure what it's running atm..

If you're on 10.4, launchd is what's handling things; specifically, this part of /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist:
Code:
<key>Sockets</key>
<dict>
    <key>Listeners</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Bonjour</key>
        <array>
            <string>ssh</string>
            <string>sftp-ssh</string>
        </array>
        <key>SockServiceName</key>
        <string>ssh</string>
    </dict>
</dict>
Changing ssh's info in /etc/services and HUPing launchd should switch ssh over (I haven't tested it though).
