The default for 11.0 is no ssh and the firewall closes the port. In the summary screen you get before starting the actual installation you have the choice to change that.
But he did change that, he started the service. Why the requirement for also opening the port in the firewall? Seems too easy to fire up sshd at the remote site, drive home, only to find you have to drive back again.
For the record, unless the machine is a router, I see little need for suse firewall at all. A port not open is just as effective, and services (mostly/always?) have a means to control which interfaces they will serve. This is why I asked David if this machine was his firewall.
Remind me again why a secure service like ssh is off by default?
Actually, I found it was already enabled and ready to go, as soon as I shut down the firewall. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
