Link it into /etc/rcx.d as normal to start the service at boot time. /etc/init.d/ssh is linked to in /etc/rc?.d on my system. It contains a line though which checks for a file named /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run, and if it finds it then it will not run sshd. I renamed this file to sshd_not_to_be_run~ and now I can ssh localhost without problem. Tom
