Just some ideas... What do you get from a "netstat -a" (sans quotes)? You should get a line that shows... tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN or similar. This is (IMO) the only way to ensure that it is running (listening). If you don't have it listening or it is not listening on the correct port you will get the "connection refused" response. If that checks OK. Try doing a restart then checking the log files to see if anything anomalous comes up. Are you trying to log-in as root or as normal users? I don't remember if root is disabled by default or not. > > Just today I switched from RH 7.1 to 7.2. I had high > > expectations, but now disillusionment. When you say "switched" do you mean a fresh install or an upgrade? If an upgrade did you check to see if it munged your old old sshd_config file? Did it back it up with an .rpmsave? This may keep it from working. You may also want to post up your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file to let us go over it for errors. -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
