[Tfug] Setting up SSH

[Harry McGregor]

Hi,

Here is my only guess.

The "ssh" package is a meta-package, it's not a real package.

All it contains is the /etc/ssh directory

hmcgregor at Malbeth:~$ dpkg -L ssh
/etc/ssh


The real packages (which ssh should have depends on, are openssh-server
and openssh-client)

try this

apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
