- Things I have done so far include:
-
- - checked /etc/inetd.conf for appropriate uncommented entries for sshd
- - checked /etc/hosts.deny to ensure proper clearance for my hosts
- - checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config for appropiate entry in the "ListenAddress"

This exact problem bit me big time a while back. If hosts.allow or
hosts.deny exists, add to hosts.allow:
sshd : ALL
You need this even of you are not running sshd from inetd.
