Hello!

I have installed open-ssh on my N800, for a) I have not managed to pair it with my iGo keyboard (was a doddle to set up with N770!) and b) I needed to ftp some fonts in for sdict. It's a useful thing to have, but I am wondering whether the ssh-server running is actually going to take up resources? (Especially with regards to the MM-vanishing act, posted here.)

I can't seem to find anything in the gui to enable and disable daemons with a tick, so I figured I could just remove all the symlinks to ssh from rcX.d and from then on use /etc/init.d/ssh start / stop to run ssh selectively if required.

Is that safe? Would it work? Is it actually the ssh-server-daemon that I want to switch off, or is there a wider service, that generally listens to incoming connections that I can turn off? How much of a hassle is it to build an applet for the desktop that has a toggle and an indicator telling me whether it is running or not?

Thanks a lot for all replies!
joe
