Hi all folks,

I encountered problem in starting ssh

# epm -qa | grep ssh
openssh-3.6.1_p2

# ssh -X satimis@localhost
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused

# /etc/init.d/sshd status
* status: stopped
# /etc/init.d/sshd start
* Bringing eth0 up...
* Failed to bring eth0 up

* ERROR: _Problem starting needed services
"sshd" was not started.

(Remark: the denotation of NIC of this PC is eth1 because previously it
had 2 NICs, eth0 and eth1. _I removed eth0, the remaining NIC retaining
eth1)


# lokkit
bash: lokkit: command not found
# epm -q lokkit
package lokkit is not installed

Kindly advise
1) How to start ssh
2) What tool shall I use to check port 22 not being firewalled off and
ssh is blocked
3) Where can I download 'lokkit'

Thanks in advance.

To start an XSession, you have to be able to connect to your own XServer.
This is done by executeing the following on your localmachine.
$ xhost +hosttoconnectfrom

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

User=satimis
# hostname
mymachine

I tried follows without result
(On my PC ssh is not running)

# xhost mymachine
mymachine being added to access control list

# ssh -X satimis@mymachine
it hangs there

Download nmap and run a port scan--nmap.org

Take care

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

Problem has been solved by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config

thanks
