SSH Question...


Hello all...

I have RedHat 9.0 installed and SSH is installed as a part of this and appears to be running... is there some changes that need to be made to the config files before I can SSH using Putty into my Linux machine...

Everytime I try this, I get a "connection refused"... basically, do I need to make changes to the setup to have this work, or should it work without any tweaking... I am running a Linksys Router and I'm not sure if that is causing me problems... I have the port forwarding turned on...

If you tell me that it should work without any configuration, then I will remove my router from the picture and try this again!

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Phil

Exclamation it should work without any configuration

It is possible that your router may be blocking port 22 (the SSH port).

if you want to verify the status of SSHd, type service sshd status at the command line.

Ok... it's running... so, do you have to configure SSH in order for me to connect... or should/would you be able to connect "out of the box" as they would say?

Thanks...
Phil

Check your firewall isn't blocking port 22:
iptables -L

post the output if you aren't sure.

Hello,

Look in your /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow and see of you allow incoming ssh requests. If /etc/hosts.deny says

ALL:ALL

then /etc/hosts.allow should at least contain

sshd:<ip to let in>

/Stefan
