i'm racking my brain here. i've googled until i curse. how in the hell do i get sshd to start automatically at boot? or any other program/process for that matter?

the command is:

sshstart

put it in:

bootlocal.sh

I did a search after pressing that neato search button in the upper right hand corner of this browser screen.
I used:

sshd AND boot

as my search items with:

"this month and older"

selected at the bottom, then i clicked:

Search!

and this is what i found:

< http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....nd+boot >

Good luck!

EDIT: you can put other neat things in 'bootlocal.sh' as well.

thank you very much! i'm now calming down. :-)
believe it or not i did a search in this forum but obviously i didn't give the proper search criteria.
i appreciate such a quick response!

If you happen to be using a liveCD without a backup, you can boot with "dsl ssh" to start it automatically.

And if you use the frugal install, you need to add it during the install process (or re-create your lilo.conf file and add it in the APEND line and then run lilo again).
