OpenSSH problem!

[Billy30]

I have my iPhone with rev 1.1.1. I notice that the OpenSSH appliucation is not working (I can't connect to my computer or turn it on via services application). when I llok for it on the installer it looks as installed and it is version 4.6p 1-1.
I try uninstall it, but, got a message: Error, Main script execution failed!

can someone let me know what can be the solution of this?

thanks!

That is exactly what is happening to me right now!!
What i guess i did wrong, is that there was 2 openSSH, and I installed one the was under copy coder catergories, and that is the one that won't uninstall?? I was able to install and uninstall the other one, which was named under iphone hack iphone, or something like that. I believe that is the one we need for the whole sshing. But when I install that one, it also doesn;t show up on the homescreen?? I know we need to get the other one off, but with the whole "main script execution failed" error, not sure how else to uninstall it?

Can someone pleeeeeease help us?? I am trying to learn how to SSH and I can't get too far, if I can't get this one uninstalled and install the correct one?? Please someone??

Oh! By the way, I am on 1.1.2 now!

hey guys, this is a common problem, ill tell u how to run ssh from iphone without the problem of services.

1- install "Mobile terminal"
2- enter in mobile terminal and execute these commands:

cd / (tapp return)
/usr/sbin/sshd (tapp return)

here you go!!! ssh is now running ! this is the sshd "SSH daemon"
is the same as if ur turning on the switch on services but manually.

3- leave mobile terminal
4- connect normally to ssh

We can fix the ssh on services but this will need more time.

- u can install tapp.app to run this command w/ a single tapp.

But, I didn't find the mobile terminal, so I used Term-vt100. Then it didn't solve the problem.
Attached snapview of the commands.
let me know if i'm still doing it wrong.
BTW I installed tapp.app, how it works?

Maybe you could try manually creating the host keys?

/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -d -f /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""
/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -t rsa -N ""

/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -t rsa -N ""

NetMage, I try it, still don't work!
I receive a message that can't find the /usr/local/bin/ssh directory.
any ideas?
thanks!

[ucim2cute]

Same for me! Still doesn't work! What am I doing wrong??
UGH! I just know the probelm is that other stupid SSH that is giving the whole problem!! We need to figure a way to be able to uninstall that one, so as to just install the correct SSH one and our whole problem would be solved!! But how?? Grrrrrrrrrr............. Someone please help figure a way to uninstall the wrong SSH...pleeeeease??
But anyways, thanks for the people who have tried to help us, I'm sure I speak for all of us here, thanks again..

I cannot suddenly ssh to my iPhone. Tried restarting my iPhone and reinstalling OpenSSH without any luck.

Anybody got a clue what's happened?
