# OpenSSH should have been installed by default. Lets confirm this by issuing the command:
:: # <code>rpm -qa | grep ssh</code>
# You should see a number of packages installed including <code>openssh-clients</code> and </code>openssh-server</code>
# <code>openssh-server<code> installs a service called <code>sshd</code>, confirm this service is running by issuing the command:
:: # <code>service sshd status</code>
# Now check that the sshd service is configured to start for runlevels 2, 3, 4, & 5, by issuing the command:
:: # <code>chkconfig --list sshd</code>
# If the service is not configured correctly fix it by issuing the command:
:: # <code>chkconfig --level 2345 sshd on</code>
# Now that you know the service is running investigate what port number and protocol sshd uses by issuing the command:
:: # <code>netstat -atunp</code>
# What protocol and port is the sshd process using?
# What is the state of the port?
