Are the following instances of 'ubuntu' the same machine? As in, you tried the telnet command and the ssh command from the same box? Have you tried to run ssh as the root user?
If the server allows incoming packets on port 22 (which it is doing with your telnet from root) then there isn't anything on the server which would restrict packets (like a firewall or tcp.rules implementation) that is blocking you just by your IP address. To me, that means there is likely something on the client that is restricting outbound port 22 to special users. Try running ssh as root and see if it works. > r...@ubuntu:/home/paul# telnet 192.168.0.100 22 > Trying 192.168.0.100... > Connected to 192.168.0.100. > Escape character is '^]'. > SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5ubuntu1 > ^C^C^^ > Connection closed by foreign host. > > p...@ubuntu:~$ ssh 192.168.0.100 > ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.100 port 22: Connection refused _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list LinuxUsers@socallinux.org http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
