Can't ssh into my box from work.

donk3 · 08-19-2003, 07:43 AM

I keep receiving error "ssh: connect to address "my IP" port 22: Connection refused". I was able to log into my box Saturday from work. I do have my firewall on high, but it has been that way since I installed red hat 9 (3 months ago). My nmap tool from home does show that I have port 22 open. Is there a option in the etc/rc.d/init.d to start the daemon? What did or am I doing wrong?

Open a terminal window.
For this you will have to be root, type the following and enter your root password:

Code:

su -

To start SSHd, type:

Code:

service sshd start

If you want SSHd to start when the system is booted, type:

Code:

chkconfig --level 35 sshd on

I will definitely try that when I get home.

Hello again,

I resolved it! I looked in "lokkit" a while back & did look in the customize option. I didn't make no changes, but when I go in there it disables FTP, SMTP, SSH, etc by default.
