I don't fully understand your message. How would you expect to use ssh
if it isn't configured? So why did you install it?

dirvish needs some transport mechanism between the backup server and
each client. Normally you would either use ssh or an rsync daemon. See
the rsync man page for details of how to use the daemon. Whatever you
use, you will need to install and configure the appropriate software on
each client. And since dirvish makes incoming connections to each
client, you would be wise to configure those connections securely.

Please show the actual output of commands if you need further help.
