To set up SSH remote access on Slackware, follow these steps:
Install OpenSSH Server: If it's not already installed, you can install it using the package manager. Open a terminal and type:
sbopkg -i openssh-server
Start and Enable SSH Service: Start the SSH service and enable it to start on boot.
/etc/rc.d/rc.sshd start
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd
Configure SSH: Edit the SSH configuration file to ensure it's set up correctly.
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Port 22
Protocol 2
PermitRootLogin no
PasswordAuthentication yes
Restart SSH Service: After making changes to the configuration file, restart the SSH service.
/etc/rc.d/rc.sshd restart
Create a User (if not already present): If you don't have a user account, create one.
adduser yourusername
passwd yourusername
Test SSH Access: From another machine, try to connect to your Slackware server using SSH.
ssh yourusername@your_server_ip
Example:
If your server IP is 192.168.1.100 and your username is john, you would connect using:
ssh john@192.168.1.100
