Unfortunately, by the nature of portforwarding, it doesn't work from internal->external->internal.
FYI, There is no need to perform kill -9 on SSHD. 'kill -HUP' will force SSHD to reread it's config file. Also, most distributions will allow you to do /etc/init.d/ssh restart (or /etc/init.d/sshd, depending on distro).
Ooh. I made progress. I had a freind help me test and it askes for the user name then password then it says connection closed by remote host once the password is entered correctly. Is that a simple setup error that could be fixed by you linux gods really fast?
Sounds like a router config problem to me. It sounds as if the daemon is responding. Are you using iptables on the Linux box and if so they must be configured as well?
This will probably make you want to give up on me but I don't know what you're talking about.. I just installed Fedorda again for the first time in a while 2 days ago..
I think its just a permission problem. Logging in as root work. (I know you're going to kill me for allowing that) but it does work. Where do I allow ssh to others?
Yeah, I can't figure it out. I can only log in as root but nothing else. I was trying to set it up so a me and a friend could both be in but no luck I guess.
