Enable SSHD on FreeBSD

I believe most system admin does remote access to the server. Who doesn’t enable SSHD on FreeBSD? Almost every new FreeBSD installation, the first thing I will do after installation is enable SSHD Service on FreeBSD. Start the service and remote access from laptop, with a cup of coffee!

To enable SSHD on FreeBSD

  • Edit the file: vi /etc/rc.conf
  • Add: sshd_enable=”YES”
  • To start sshd service: /etc/rc.d/sshd start

If it’s the first time you enable SSHD, it will generate the keys for the first time.
