Thread: Ssh not working under Fedora Linux

HI I am using Fedora OS.. While i tried to use ssh in terminal it is not working and not showing any error also but when i use /usr/bin/ssh it works correctly I dunno why it is happening. Please any one tell me how to link /usr/bin/ssh to normal ssh so that i would use ssh instead of /usr/bin/ssh in terminal.

You should take a look at your PATH variable.

If you don't have that path in it just export a new PATH variable in your .bashrc like this:

Code:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin

Do you have openssh installed ?

Ya i have Installed openssh... After i giving path also ssh not working.. Only /usr/bin/ssh working...

My echo $PATH output is
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/root/bin

What is the output of the following commands?

Code:

type -a ssh
id

Are you using sudo or su? If so run it as follows to load path:

Code:

su -

OR

Code:

sudo -s

Thnx for your help Just now I have solved the problem by using which ssh command i found which file ssh referring it is on /usr/local/bin/ssh. Then i checked the file which have zero size i think it may be corrupted some how so i deleted that file and copied ssh from /usr/bin/ssh to /usr/local/bin/ssh now it is working correctly...

I want to know how ssh referring /usr/local/bin/ssh instead of /usr/bin/ssh normally.. How i can change these functionalists to refer /usr/bin in future???

Did you installed openssh client using source code or the yum command? Other options are:

1. Include /usr/local/bin in your PATH.
2. Create a soft link in /usr/bin directory using ln command.
