Ubuntu – Start ssh server on boot

autostartssh

I've been doing my google-fu, but I can only find outdated guides or guides pertaining solely to the server variations of Ubuntu.

I need to set it up so that ssh server is run on boot, so I can access the computer remotely without having to first physically log in on the host computer. How would I do that? I already have ssh server set up so that I can log in and all that, but first I would have to log in on the host and run sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start

This should do the trick..

sudo update-rc.d ssh defaults

EDIT: If your network is configured with Network Manager then the connection will not be established until a user logs in through the GUI. For manually configuring you have to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file, have a look at this guide and if you use wireless you can have a look here
