The first thing I'd check is if iptables is allowing traffic on port 22.

I'd start with setting LogLevel DEBUG in /etc/sshd_config, restarting sshd, and then running the ssh client on the other machine with the -v flags. the ssh commands logging can be rather verbose, but when you see negative sounding phrases like method disabled or Failed, things are going wrong and there are positive phrases like succeeded or accepted then things are going right.

Check /var/log/secure for error messages. If you are trying to ssh in as root (instead of as yourself, then using su), then there is a config line in sshd_config you'll have to change. If available, try a different ssh client. Instead of running sshd as a daemon, run it in debug mode. Run the ssh client in debug mode as well. Somewhere in the noise might be something useful. --kag ___ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
