I am having trouble getting sshd2 to start at boot in run level 3.

I installed ssh-3.01 to /usr/local and put the supplied sshd2 shell
script in /etc/init.d (RHL 7.0) and made it executable. I put a
symlink in /etc/rc3.d named S98sshd2 which points to the shell script.

I think the shell script and permissions are ok because I can start
and stop the daemon with the symlink once the machine is booted up, eg

root# /etc/rc3.d/S98sshd2 restart

works as expected.

Nonetheless, the daemon does not start at boot.

The only thing I can think is that there is a problem starting daemons
in /usr/local, but I have no idea.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1438 Sep 19 13:36 /etc/init.d/sshd2*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Sep 18 09:59 /etc/rc3.d/S98sshd2 -> ../init.d/sshd2*

There are no messages matching 'ssh' in /var/log/messages from the
boot sequence.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
John Hunter

Link it to run level 5 (rc5.d)...should work.

Ok, thanks, I'll try that. But it seems to me that ssh services
should be available at run level 3, for those times when you go down
to a lower level for admin stuff. I can always start up the services
manually in 3, but this doesn't help many of the users who may be
logging in remotely.

Presuming it works in 5, any thoughts on why it isn't working in 3?

Thanks,

forgive me in advance if any of this is off, I'm still nursing a birthday
hangover. My assumption would be that you are booting into runlevel 5,
which is why it's not working just by having it in 3...what follows is that
if you boot your system to runlevel 3 ssh should start up...generally with
services like ssh I link the startups to 3 and 5.

Oh, I see. I assumed that anything in run level 3 would be started on
the way to 5. If my default runlevel is 5, is it then correct that
none of the scripts in rc3.d are run?

Congrats on the birthday.

Right, anything you want to run in a particular runlevel has to be symlink
to that rc#.d dir. So if you want it in runlevels 3 and 5 you would need
it in both rc3.d and rc5.d.
