DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 440
Headless machine set up by brainless tech
My Linux machine has no monitor, which is fine, except I forgot to install SSHD. Help! Just did a fresh install of Debian stable, parked the server in the closet, and loaned my monitor to a friend (before you ask the obvious question, I'm posting this from a laptop.) Unfortunately I can't finish configuring the machine because I forgot to install SSHD (yes, I'm an idiot.)
Anyone out there with Debian stable, I would love to get the step-by-step keystrokes to get me through the configuration steps after doing this:
login: [user][enter]
password: [password][enter]
> sudo apt-get install ssh[enter]
[sudo password][enter]
I know at this point it'll ask me config questions, including the magic one ("do you want to run sshd?") but I don't know which questions, which order, or whether it defaults to yes or no on each. Bluh.
It's a hail mary, but here I am, asking anyway. Thanks if you're a Debian guy and patient enough to run the installer and document the steps.
