I've lost a drive in my FBSD 8.? box. I have a FBSD 8.1 LiveFS CD from which I've booted. I'd like to get sshd running so I can connect remotely and have the ability to browse, copy/paste, etc. while I see what I might be able to salvage before replacing my drive. I've found these directions: http://wiki.ggis.biz/index.php/Recover_Using_LiveFS I can do the "Configure the network connection", the "setup login shell for root", and the "Prepare SSH" part. However the "Enable, configure, and start sshd" part doesn't seem to apply and really doesn't make sense. Bottom line is that after running /mnt2/use/sbin/sshd, I can see the process in ps output. However when I attempt to connect to sshd as root, my connection is immediately closed. I'm thinking it's a PermitRootLogin yes issue and I'm missing something but I've read and re-read that section and verified that /etc/ssh/sshd_config contains PermitRootLogin yes. Can anyone tell me how to get sshd running or point me to a better link? Thanks, Drew -- Like card tricks?
