no /etc in in Debian/Mint?

[Aphexlog]

I need to find my sshd_config path but it would typicaly be in the etc directory but i have mint which is off of Debian/Ubuntu and im told that these distros dont have that directory... so is there an equivalent? all i need right now is my sshd_config dir. Please help, Thanx

I don't know what Mint does (if it really doesn't have /etc, I'd be a little worried about how much they're patching their packages to do that), but both Debian and Ubuntu have an /etc folder. Look under '/etc' in a terminal, or press the 'file system' button in a file manager, then look for 'etc'.

I have Mint 13 in a VM on my Windows box and for sure it has /etc

$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=13
DISTRIB_CODENAME=maya
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 13 Maya"

Having run debian, it has the /etc.
Having run mint it too has /etc.
The only changes to file system layout I've heard of is from red hat developers wanting to merge all the /bins, /sbins, and et al into the /usr directory.

Hi, I used to use Mint 14.1 and abandoned it because I could not set the DNS IPs in its Network Manager GUI. Linux Mint has a backup hidden where it comes back to life and changes the locked settings. But I could use the desktop connection tool and set my new DNS there.

Mint 14 runs fine for me. Perhaps you need to edit the DNS settings as follows:

tgalati4@Mint14-Extensa ~ $ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.1.1

# OpenDNS Fallback (configured by Linux Mint in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail).
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
tgalati4@Mint14-Extensa ~ $ cat /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail

# OpenDNS Fallback (configured by Linux Mint in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail).
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

----------------------
Just put your desired DNS settings in the tail file. When you are out and about, you will have both the DNS servers provided by the hotspot and a fallback configuration.

I don't use the Newwork Manager GUI. I'm sure there is a reason for this complicated resolv.conf arrangement and it is probably the use case that I have described.
