openssh-service

openssh-service

[ng0]

Can someone explain to the list how the example of the openssh-service
is supposed to fit into a default users config based on the regular
desktop.scm? So far I think this is a bad example but I have no idea how
to improve it.

You will typically have

(services (cons* (gnome-desktop-service)
                 (xfce-desktop-service)
                 %desktop-services))

When you do it by the book, the openssh-service will not work.

Thanks to whoever worked on and added openssh by the way, it's a good
addition.

Damn, the machine I tested this on I added one pair of parens which
shouldn't have been there.

 (services (cons* (gnome-desktop-service)
                  (xfce-desktop-service)
                  (service
                   openssh-service-type
                   (openssh-configuration
                   (x11-forwarding? #t)
                   (permit-root-login 'without-password)))
                  %desktop-services))

works. The error messages could be more intuitive :)

It seems that originally there should have been `openssh-service' but
is not present in 86d8f6d3efb8300a3354735cbf06be6c01e23243, just
exported in gnu/services/ssh.scm:40.

So I guess there are now two possible choices:

a] remove export
b] provide openssh-service
