In general
emerge -s program_name
will return you something useful.
Obviously there are exceptions, but in this cae it would have helped.
Happy hunting,

Part of my problem was the description for the "emerge search ssh" was not listing them as servers or clients.
I am running into the same issue with FTP now. I just installed FTPD and assuming that is the correct one.
Thanks for the help. |

You can use
qpkg -i package_name
to get some info on a package, but in this case I agree with you there's not much useful info unless you know that the server & client come bundled as one.

There are not seperate server and client ebuilds, openssh has both in it. If you can ssh out of the box try
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/sshd start
|
If you get an ok, add it to your default runlevel like so
| Code: |
rc-update add sshd default
|
otherwise emerge openssh first as stated previously.
The default setup is quite good but you can play with it at
| Code: | | /etc/ssh/sshd_config |

there are many ftp servers, the most popular seem to be proftpd (which I use) and pureftpd...

Or with sshd running, sftp. This uses the same authentication methods so you has a secure file transfure. Clients are availible for every platform, winscp2 being a good 1. Why run two processes when you can run 1?

Here is one for you.. I can start sshd manually however when I try and
rc-update add sshd default
I get the following:
* runlevel deafult not found; skipping
Anyone know whats going on?

Well now don't I feel sheepish (bhhaaa) 
Wouldn't you know if the command I did right before that I spelt it correctly. I really must be getting tired.
