Is there a specific SSH boot log?
My sshd won't start at bootup. I have to type it in manually (sudo service ssh start).
I've posted a question on how to start ssh at bootup (How to start SSH daemon on boot on Linux Mint Debian v2), but, everything I've tried has not worked.
I checked /var/log/boot.log, it actually says:
[ ok ] Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd
However, when I type ps -A | grep ssh, sshd does not show up. If I start it manually (sudo service ssh start), it does show up. Is there a specific log for SSH that I can check?
I'm using LMDE v2, 64-bit, Mate.
ssh startup init.d

Insystemdbased systems, it's possible that only a socket is opened and the daemon loads on demand, when a request comes. I hope this is relevant.

I figured it out. In my auth.log file, it wasn't binding to the IP address I put in for the ListenAddress parameter in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. After I changed it back to 0.0.0.0, it starts up now. Don't quite understand, I thought I could put the IP address of my computer?
And I don't understand why it doesn't start at boot, yet, manually, it can start.
