that's the only # reported. If there is another way to interpret the log
data (I don't understand _all_ the data in the long log entry), I'm listening.
To make a long story short, after some more testing (and discovering that
my freind had installed packet filters on his box, thus preventing access
to his box from other than known hosts :) ), I now have ssh access. I am
now able to connect to his port 23, which is running ssh. I switched my
ssh port to 23, put telnet elsewhere, and now ssh works (and telnet doesn't).
I would conclude then, that there is a router somewhere upstream filtering
out anything other than specific ports.
So, I lose telnet. But that's why I'm getting ssh going in the first place.
Thanks for the advice!
Cheers!
Jon
