Moved from bug 4206, comment #7: Tested on RHEL6 minimal. It has sshd installed and running by default. However: * If it is installed but stopped, tl-setup will ask about automatic installation, but then say "All packages needed seem to already be installed.", then continue with sshd still being stopped, thus TL not working. * If it is uninstalled, the package will be installed correctly, but not started, so TL will not work.
This is perhaps slightly more relevant now, since Fedora 19 (at least when installed from the live CD) has OpenSSH installed but disabled by default.
On Ubuntu 14.04, we correctly install the openssh-server package. Unfortunately, the service is not started automatically when the package is installed.

This looks more like a bug in Ubuntu 14.04 than an intentional decision by the Ubuntu devs. tlsetup.log provides some clues: > 2015-11-03 07:59:57,507: Installed openssh-server (amd64) > [...] > 2015-11-03 07:59:58,115: initctl: Unknown job: ssh

(In reply to comment #4) > Om 15.10, SSH starts up automatically after installation through tl-setup. On Ubuntu 16.04, SSH also starts up automatically if it was installed through tl-setup. If you use apt to install open-ssh it will, not by default, be started automatically.
