I am doing a fresh install of Rocky 9.
During the install process there is a check box option which I selected "Allow root SSH login with password:
What / how do I configure my Rocky9 system so that I can ssh from Windows OS
I run systemctl start sshd and returns:
Job for sshd.service failed because the control process exited with error.
See "systemctl status sshd.service" and "journalctl -xeu sshd. service" for details.

I can ssh to my Windows OS from Rocky, but cannot ssh to my Rocyk9 from Windows.
Can you let me know what I need to do when I do a fresh install so that our Windows systems can ssh into Rocky9
