how to kill ssh once and for all?

[DimGR]

there is no ssh script in my rc5.d folder but whenever i see the running processes ssh is running and i always have to kill it manually.


/etc/rc5.d# ls -all

On most recent distros the ssh daemon is started as a xinetd daemon. Have a look in /etc/xinetd.d/ and remove the sshd-xinetd file.

SSH wouldn't necessarily need to be in runlevel five. It can run just fine in CLI-only too. Check the other rc*.d directories and you may find that there is a startup script.

I don't recognize ssh-age as a process though. The only ssh processes that I'm used to seeing are ssh and sshd, so you might want to google that and see what it actually is.

i can only find ssh in run level 1 and 2 . should i just delete them from there or not? a scan to myself showed these :


PORT STATE SERVICE
1/tcp open tcpmux
21/tcp open ftp
22/tcp open ssh

Try "chmod u-x /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd" which will make the script unexecutable. Or you can boot up with the installation disk and run "pkgtool" and select "Choose which services to start up". You will need to mount the drive, when you run "pkgtool" it will give you instructions on how to do it.

chmod u-x /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd
chmod: cannot access `/etc/rc.d/rc.sshd': No such file or directory

Perhaps he should try this:

chmod u-x `which sshd`

No, that would make affect to the sshd binary itself, not the script that starts it.

But it would work

The full name should be ssh-agent, the line may be broken into two parts as below which I've just encountered:
