sorry i asked this in another thread but no one answered

i want to stop the ssh server to possibly save some power and increase security

i learnt to root and "/etc/init.d/ssh stop" to stop the server. i know that works because it said ssh stop

then i tried "rm -f /etc/rc2.d/s55ssh" to stop it for autostarting. that worked because i tried to connect but couldnt.

and then finally i tried "ln -s /etc/rc2.d/s55ssh -> /etc/init.d/ssh" incase i wanted the autostart function back. dont know if that works because he said it would need a restart.

now i dont know if any of it works anymore because i don't get the ssh stop message when trying to stop it. and offcourse the server doesnt stop.
i tried restarting and trying it again but still don't work

could the last command i entered stuffed it up?

one more thing. my phone acted pretty strange when trying to type this. the browser would just dissappear when im almost finished typing or would go to a different page. i tried to type this 3 times now before giving up and type it on my computer... scary :S
