Enabling SSH


How do I enable the sshd server? I get this message whenever I try to connect to my ssh server using localhost as the address:
ssh: connect to address 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused

I already installed the openssh-server RPM files. chkconfig --list shows the sshd daemon running. My hosts.allow and hosts.deny files do not contain any IP addresses, so that cannot be it. I also put in my /etc/xinetd.d directory the sshd file with these entries:

service sshd
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
server = /usr/sbin/sshd
}

Only other thing is maybe the Mandrake 8.2 firewall is blocking, but I don't know where to configure that...I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

I don't know what happened (maybe the reboot did the trick) but now the SSH daemon is up and running and takes ssh connections.
