Post installation of openssh

[rbizzell33]

I installed FreeBsd 8.0 and I forgot to initailize sshd daemon. I don't see any files in the /usr/local/etc directory where ssh would be. How do you install openssh. The commands are in the bin directory but no files. I can't go into /usr/ports/security and install ssh because you have to rebuild world and change the variable. So how can I install or get openssh working running

The sshd server that comes with the base system can be enabled by adding

sshd_enable="YES"

to your /etc/rc.conf file. Configuration files exists in /etc/ssh and you start it by using

/etc/rc.d/sshd start

 

[rbizzell33]

there are no ssh files in the directory

OpenSSH is installed as part of the base OS. Even if you do a "minimal" install, you get OpenSSH installed.

The configuration directory for the base OpenSSH is /etc/ssh/. The primary config files are /etc/ssh/ssh_config for the client, and /etc/ssh/sshd_config for the server.

You enable the daemon by adding sshd_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf and then by running # /etc/rc.d/sshd start.

Simple as that.
