Automating Server Startup
If you have installed SSH Tectia Server from binaries, sshd2 by default
starts automatically at boot time. However, if you have installed from
source code, you need to modify your system to enable automatic startup.
In the following sections, two different methods for starting the
Secure Shell daemon at boot time are introduced. If neither of
these methods work on your system, consult your operating
system documentation on how to start services at boot time.
Starting from /etc/rc.d/rc.local
In order to start sshd2 automatically at boot time on operating
systems based on System V, the startup script
sshd2 should be located in the /etc/rc.d/init.d
directory, and there should be symbolic links to the sshd2
startup script in /etc/rc.d/rc?.d, where "?"
is the run level. You can either add these links manually or use
chkconfig.
Note: chkconfig
If you want to use chkconfig, check that the first lines in
sshd2 are similar to the following:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Author: Sami Lehtinen <sjl@ssh.com>
#
# sshd2 This shell script takes care of starting
# and stopping sshd2.
#
# chkconfig: 345 34 70
# description: Secure Shell daemon
#
|
This means that sshd will be started in run levels 3, 4 and 5, its starting
priority is 34, and its killing priority is 70. You can choose the run levels and
priorities as you want as long as sshd is started after the network is up.
After adding the links manually or giving the command
$ chkconfig --add sshd2
you should have the links in /etc/rc.d/rc?.d, similar to
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Aug 16 10:07 S34sshd -> ../init.d/sshd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Aug 16 10:07 K70sshd -> ../init.d/sshd
|
Starting from /etc/rc.local
On BSD-based operating systems, you have to add a
similar line to the following to the rc.local/etc directory:
echo "Starting sshd2..."; /usr/local/sbin/sshd2
|
After this, the server daemon will start automatically at boot time.
