SSH and CentOs, need help

HyperTrey · 10-18-2006, 04:02 AM

I have centos and I am tring to remote access it via cygwin and ssh. I cant get to log into it. I even tried setting the allowing root login to yes. and I used ssh root@<ip addy>. Just timed out. What else do I have to do to get linux to allow me to remote acces it via ssh? Then the next thing I plan to try to get the X remote access up and running.

Is port 22 open on your firewall?

Also, make sure you've allowed access in sshd_config if firewall is OK

that is where I changed the root access. How do you open to port up in firewall? (noob in linux)

If you use the gui, I'm pretty sure you'll find firewall options under "security" in one of the menu options in gnome (sorry, I don't often use the gui)
