You should never copy some script from the internet without a thorough understanding of what it does, especially a script meant to start external services! Do you want to share your computer with the whole internet? And besides that, the script provide by the maintainer may (and probably will) have Debian specific stuff. Let's take it step by step and please show the output of the commands below by copy-pasting them in the mail: 1. Remove the script you copied from the internet and revert any changes you made in that direction 2. Find out if openssh-server is installed: dpkg -l openssh-server This will show something like this: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-====================================-============================-============================================ ii openssh-server 1:4.3p2-9 secure shell server, an rshd replacement 3. If it was installed (the line starts with 'ii' you will have to reinstall or better purge and install to recreate all missing config files 4. If it is not installed you can install it with aptitude install openssh-server 4. Check if sshd is working ssh localhost Regards, Andrei P.S. I have to go to work now, but others are probably watching this thread too, so they can help if you get stuck.
