How to enable SSH in Solaris

To enable "ssh" in solaris do the following steps:

Step1: Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
change "PermitRootLogin" argument from no to yes.

Step2: Enable/restart ssh service.
svcadm enable ssh
(or)
svcadm -v enable svc:/network/ssh:default

Troubleshooting:

• If you face any problem while enabling the ssh service, do properly check the physical network and "/etc/hosts" file.
• If any line in the "/etc/hosts" file contains "::1" then comment it out and also check the localhost argument.
• Physical network status must be online when you run the following command to identify the issue: svcs -d ssh
• If you fail in all the above tips to identify the problem, check the log file it will give a idea:
  cat /var/svc/log/network-ssh\:default.log
