I wait until the status display goes from displaying "connected" until it
 goes to "not connected"

tried to connect using the ssh command, got this error

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
This (combined with other details of your reply, omitted here) suggests that the problem is authentication. How do you have sshd set to expect connections to authenticate? (The choices are in sshd's config file, probably /etc/ssh/sshd_conf .) How do you have gtelnet set to attempt to authenticate (I'm not familiar with this client so can't tell you how to check this)?

On another note, I corrected the system clock on tthe server (it thought it
was 1998) now one of my user accounts has expired, how do I reactiveate it.
Accounts don't normally expire, so either I am misunderstanding your description or you are using something peculiar to Mandrake 9.0. In either case, I need to leave it to someone else to help with this one.
