Topic: Setup ssh on SME Server

[acampione]

Hello,

I am new to linux os. Can anyone tell me how to find the packages listed and how to install them.
and also how do I get to a command line or is it done through the server manager.  "e-smith-usershellaccess-0.1-3.noarch.rpm" "rssh-2.2.1-2.0.rh7.dag.i386.rpm"

Thank You! Al Campione

You can search for an "Update Server" contrib that would let you install these RPMs from the Server Manager but I've always just done it from the command line.  You can put the RPMs in an ibay and install from there if you like; personally I use WinSCP and put my rpms in /usr/rpms (probably bad practice, but oh well), then install them from a PuTTY  session.

re ssh & command line access etc
Have you read the manuals, try that and then ask again.

Thank You for the help.
I have a question for you. I would like to install the server update so all of the future rpm's can be installed from the web browser. I downloaded the rpm "sme-server-update-system-1.0-1.noarch.rpm" at the command line I type "rpm -uvh sme-server-update-system-1.0-1.noarch.rpm" without quotes. and it tells me uknown option. I do have the file in my user/home directory. Help if you can. Thank You.

It should be
rpm -Uvh sme-server-update-system-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
 
to check the command switches do
man rpm

Thanks Ray. Still having problems, I am root and I navigate to the dir where my files are and I do a "dir" for the directory and my packages are listed. I checked the command switches like you said. I am entering the command correctly. "uvh is for updating rpm's to latest version."  I must be missing something. Al

Linux is case sensitive
u does not = U

Like I said try
rpm -Uvh packagename

Ray, Thank You! I am all set now. I was typing a lower case "u" Thanks!
