As many of you face this problem that if install Mageia from DVD it wouldn't install openssh properly. So if type ssh and enter in terminal/konsole it will say "bash: ssh: command not found". For this You have to do su urpmi ssh ssh-server After this service sshd start chkconfig --list sshd chkconfig sshd on This will enable you to access you computer from other computer though ssh by ip adress(e.g ssh user@192.168.9.98). -- Enjoy Mageia
