(running ubuntu breezy)
All right, due to previous troubles with ssh and sshd I thought myself decently versed in ssh problems. But something has me stumped.
Up until yesterday afternoon ssh was working perfectly. Then it mysteriously stopped and gives me "connection refused" errors whenver I try and log in from another computer or even the computer the server is running on (localhost works though).
I think the problem may have something to do with the fact I switched kernels. I removed iptables, "apt-get remove iptables" and haven't modified hosts.allow or hosts.deny.
Any idea if anything about a new kernel could change my network settings?
Here's the command on vvv verbosity level. Just trying to do it through my local network and I still get blocked
shodekiagari@raikunite:/etc/ssh$ ssh -vvv -p 443 192.168.0.5

edit: thought it might be helpful to mention that ftp works while telnet doesn't seem to.
