Just a couple of thoughts:
- Are you able to telnet to port 22 on the target system?
for example: telnet abc.com 22
you should get to see the OpenSSH banner if it connects successfully.
- Do you have a router (i.e., LinkSys or DLink type box) that you need to
open port 22 on?

I am having a problem configuring the foomatic-filters package when
installing it.
It seems that the ucf script is hanging on the read of the response to
the question of what to do with the config file.

I believe they should go into /etc/network/interfaces. You should also
have a networking script in /etc/init.d and the appropriate symlinks in
the /etc/rc.x directories.

I recently had something similar. It turned out to be that I had two
versions of ifconfig installed. One was in /sbin/ifconfig, the other in
/usr/bin/ifconfig. The 'correct' ifconfig was the one in
/sbin/ifconfig. It seems that I had installed the inetutils-tools

This is probably a simple question, but
Is there a way to easily determine what version (stable, testing,

I realize that using apt-cache policy allows me to determine it for
individual packages but I am looking for a list for all install

I am having problems getting networking to start up on boot. I can get
it running manually, but it seems like there is an interface problem
between ifup/down and ifconfig.
I am running net-tools (ifconfig) 1.60.8 and ifupdown 0.6.4-4.6 but have
also tried this with net-tools 1.60.4 and ifupdown 0
