Disabling the SSH Server
Having configured the system to run the SSH server we can now look at how to disable it. As we mentions previously the SSH server runs in the background as a service. In order to diable SSH we need to turn off the SSH serivce. This can be achieved using the ''Services'' tool. To launch the services tool click on the desktop ''System'' menu and select ''Services'' from the ''Administration'' sub-menu. Enter your password when prompted to do so. The Services tool will appear containing a list of all available services. Scroll down to find the ''Remote shell server'' entry as shown below:

Uncheck the box next to the SSH entry and click on the ''Close'' button. The SSH server is now disabled. To re-enable the server repeat the above steps and check the box next to 'Remote shell server'' to enable the service.
