Hello,
I've installed openSSH 3.6.1 on my Zaurus 6000L. I've generated the key files. When I type sshd to start the deamon, it returns a cursor. No errors or warnings are displayed. I launch putty on my pc, type in the ip number of my zaurus, choose ssh in putty and click on connect. It never connects. I always get a "connection timed out" error. Is there something I'm missing with setting up openSSH on the Zaurus 6000L ? Thanks, Roger |

Check connection settings: Can you ping both ways? Have you set a manual IP address on the PC (rather than it setting its own), etc.

Can I ping both ways?....
The PC can load pages in a browser. The Zaurus is online and can load pages. I can type ping www.yahoo.com and they both return data. It just seems that the sshd on the zaurus is not responding to any requests.... |

Being able to load pages on a browser does not ensure you have the right IP address or that the PC can access it.
You can start by verifing the Zaurus IP address by typing "ifconfig" on a terminal window. Then ping the Z using the IP address you just verified to ensure the PC has a route to it. |

Yes, I run ifconfig and I get the ip number.
I open a browser on my desktop and type the ip number. I get the html page that I created on the zaurus and stored in the proper directory. I can also pull up via the desktop pc, the php info page I created and store on the zaurus. Using ping is different then typing an IP address in a browser and getting a page rather then "Server not found" message? Thanks, Roger |

I've just tested the ping.
I am able to ping the Z from my desktop. Still am unable to get ssh to connect, it's timing out. |

SOLVED!!!!!
This morning, for some reason, I'm able to login. This time I went into /usr/sbin and typed sshd and it returned a cursor. Went to the desktop and used putty and I'm able to get in!! Thanks for all the help!!!!!! |

sshd should start automatically when requested first.
So it looks like inetd or some similar service is not initialized/configured properly. This should be done by the postinst script of the .ipk. What I can recommend to try is to manually install openssh and look for installation error messages. On Zaurus do: # cd <directory where openssh.ipk resides> # ipkg install openssh.ipk -- hns |

I think I may have found the issue...
Here at work, once you connect via wi-fi you MUST open a browser and authenticate via the company portal. If you are not authenticated, your machine is blocked from transmitting or receiving data. Today I was unable to login via ssh. Once I authenticated via the web portal, I was able to login via ssh. Sorry if this caused confusion. I should have had a better understanding of my own environment... Thanks, Roger |
