Okay, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't sending a post that solved a problem
you didn't have, so that's why I asked.
But Mark may be correct, you may not have the server installed. You can have
the client installed and be able to connect to a remote machine, but will not
be able to connect to your own machine. So run this command
rpm -qa |grep openssh
rpm -qa |grep telnet
That will tell you what packages for openssh and telnet are installed. For
example, on a friend's machine I ran those commands, and here's what I got
in return.
[timh@eric timh]$ rpm -qa |grep openssh
openssh-2.1.1p3-3mdk
openssh-askpass-2.1.1p3-3mdk
openssh-clients-2.1.1p3-3mdk
openssh-server-2.1.1p3-3mdk
[timh@eric timh]$ rpm -qa |grep telnet
ktelnet-0.61-6mdk
telnet-0.16-4mdk
telnet-server-0.16-4mdk
So with out that openssh-server-2.1.1p3-3mdk, you will not be able to create
a ssh connection to that server. So start out by trying that.
You will need to have a ssh key created. Using the ssh-keygen command will
walk you through setting that up. Keep in mind the key's passwd, DOES NOT
have to be the same as that account's passwd.
So give that a try and let me know if that doesn't work. Then we can go from
there.
