Thanks John, Yes, syslog.conf points auth.debug to /var/log/messages. I have seen several different references to setting debug levels in the archives, but cannot get more than two lines of messages for a "refused connect" problem when using them. I see as well that this is a common problem, is this due to the multiplicity of versions?
I am using openssh 2.9p2. Here is that section of my sshd_config # Logging SyslogFacility AUTH LogLevel DEBUG The only messages I am getting are: (Not a copy and paste...going on memory.) .... [sshd] xxxx Listening on 0.0.0.0 (upon restart) ... [sshd] xxxx forked child process xxxx [sshd] xxxx refused connect from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Thanks, Carl King Carl King wrote: > Thank You John. > > I will check it this evening when I get home. > > Carl King > > John Graat wrote: > >> On 11 October 2001 at 15:20, Carl King wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> I am trying to debug connection failures and cannot get >>> enough info to figure out the problem. >>> >>> I have made changes to the LOGLEVEL entry but the >>> log file does not reflect any changes in ssh activity.
