ssh doesn't auto start up in ubuntu 10.04 64bit

Question

I installed ssh using apt-get install ssh

it showed that it was successfully installed but ssh cannot start up with the booting of ubuntu, every time i need to log in ubuntu and start the service by hand.

i searched the web and came to a method of using update-rc.d ssh defaults 99

but it also fails.

is there anything else should be configured?

Answer 1

There's a couple things you can try.

Check the status of SSH -- are they errors?

$ sudo /sbin/service sshd status

Also, it might be a problem that you invoke update-rc.d on "ssh". You might try it on "sshd", which is the deamon that manages instances of "ssh".
