arrrgh, what the ?
Ok, I probably don't deserve anyone's help for this sort of stupid situation, but I'm asking anyway.
When I installed RH 7.1 I set up ssh, shut off telnet etc. About a week ago I logged in from another city just fine, and I was snooping around and I pico'd a file (and darn it, I can't remember which file....:mad: ). The connection then sort of hung, I couldn't do anything with the term window, so I just Alt-F4'd it. Now I can't connect remotely at all. Doing a port scan tells me that port 22 is closed, even though I know that sshd is running. Could anyone tell me where to look that might tell me what is going on? Even though it is 7.1, I'm running ipchains (not iptables). |
if the connection hung while editing, there should be a pico tempfile floating around w/o the last changes saved... search for it.
if it aint, then u gotta work ure way tru - sshd, cat the sshd.log (if any) and look for failed starts and/or failed logins, or start it manually and see if it *really* comes up, sshd configs, see if ure allowed login by account (or *), IP or range, also check for options that disallow other type of identification methods (like when u havent got the identity added remotely) - (x)inetd.conf and tcpwrappers' hosts.deny/allow if running sshd tru (x)inetd - ipchains/temporary rules added by some IDS - the account itself, is it enabled etc (hope ure not logging in as root) |
