Hello,<br><br>I am playing around with SL instead of CentOS so to know which one behaves better or just to have a criteria on how they both differ, being RedHat re-distros.<br><br>I noticed that my virtual machine with GUI, that I built from the  SL-63-x86_64-2012-08-02-Install-DVD.iso, won&#39;t reply to pings or open SSH sessions until a user logs in.<br>

<br>I tried the same on a CentOS  6.2 built similarly, and no matter if there are users or no users logged in, it always have networking and you can SSH into it.<br><br>Any idea about this difference? Can it be changed in SL so to initiate connections before a GUI log in?<br>

<br>Thanks,<br><br><br clear="all"><b style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"><font><font><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">José Pablo Méndez</span></span></span></font><br>
