sudo apt install openssh-server

(you probably have only openssh-client installed).

Dear DukeComposed, don't pretend that you are the smartest, ssh is protocol and sshd is daemon of protocol ssh .....A daemon is a program that runs in the background (without a terminal or user interface), waiting for events and offering some services to carry them out. A good example of a daemon would be a web server waiting for a request to deliver a page, or an SSH server waiting for someone's login.
See better this:
service ssh restart
ssh: unrecognized service
And:

apt list ssh* -i

ssh_config
^^^^^^^^^^
But ssh works !!!

Did you do this?

It’s strange that the ssh restarts here after changing the sshd config. For example, in FreeBSD and Archlinux, I restart the service sshd after changing the /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

MX Linux doesn't come with the server installed by default. Have you installed it like Adrian asked in post #26?

I did NOT have the SSH daemon installed so I went to MX Package Installer and selected "SSH Conduit" which completed without error.

Code: Select all

$ sudo service ssh status
[sudo] password for mike:         
sshd is running.

Next, I went to the Uncomplicated Firewall GUI and added an exception rule for SSH.

As a final step, I went to another PC and successfully connected. Nothing additional was installed.

Works for me!

Really? Do better, especially when asking for help!

Edit: added both PC identities back to SSH session capture that were snipped in error.

Try ssh-conduit-antix (from MX Package Installer info of "SSH Conduit")
