Starting the SSH daemon on the Live CD

From OWASP Live CD 2008

Particularly for those looking for System V style /etc/init.d stuff, you're out of luck. Here's what you need to do to get sshd running on the Live CD:

 # chmod u+x /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd
 # /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd start

That's it. Not hard after you figure it out the first time.

Oh yeah, you don't know root's password do you. Go ahead and set that to something you know:

 # passwd
Changing password for root
Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 127 characters)
Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
New password: *************
Re-enter new password: *************
Password changed.
