Then don't say doesn't work but instead show us exactly the commands you are issuing and the exact output that you are experiencing. We can't help you otherwise.

Just a Quick Question
Hey There, I used to be able to ssh from my shellworld account into my Linux box before I got the latest version of the squeeze disk. I am not able to do so now. Exactly what needs to be set up or in place in order for me to once again be able to access my Linux box via ssh or telnet from another site? I need to be able to do this if I am going to be able to set up my email so that it will work with Alpine. This is because I am much more comfortable with using Jaws for DOS as apposed to using Orca's speech package. I really would need to know the entire procedure. After having a more comfortable work environment, I will then be able to work more freely with my Linux system, as I learn the os. As always, thanks so much in advance. cheerio, Riv Feel free to visit my website and my blog and learn more about me and what I stand for.

Exactly what needs to be set up or in place in order for me to once again be able to access my Linux box via ssh or telnet from another site? 1. Ensure that openssh-server is installed. $ dpkg -l openssh-server ii openssh-server 1:5.8p1-7 secure shell (SSH) server ... 2. Ensure that sshd is listening on port 22. $ netstat -na | grep '0.0.0.0:22' tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:*LISTEN 3. Ensure that you can connect to the sshd port from the local host. Do this on the local host. $ telnet localhost 22 ... Escape character is '^]'. SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7 ^]-- Use Control-] to escape telnet quit -- Then type quit to exit 4. Ensure that you can connect to the sshd port from the remote host. Do this from the remote host. $ telnet yourlinuxhost 22 ...same as above... ...escape to command prompt and quit ... If that fails look for a firewall that is blocking the connection. # less /var/log/kern.log 5. Ensure that you can ssh to the remote host. Do this on the remote host. $ ssh yourlinuxhost 6. Increase debug level. Use one or two -v's to increase verbosity. $ ssh -v yourlinuxhost 7. Look in /var/log/auth.log on host to determine why sshd failed. # less /var/log/auth.log 8. Start your own debugging version of sshd and see all messages inline. # /usr/sbin/sshd -d -p -- On the local host. $ ssh -p yourlinuxhost -- On the remote host. If any of the above steps fail then stop there and fix that part before proceeding further. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature
