Enable SSHD on FreeBSD
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010I 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.
