Port Access


I recently installed Mandrive 10.2 (upgrading from 9) and am attempting to connect remotely via the ssh server. When running nmap on the machine it shows port 22 as being open, but when I attempt to connect remotely the connection times out. This also happens when I attempt to connect to the FTP server so something on the machine is blocking it. I tried just turning off the iptables service but that didnt have any effect. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Can you connect locally, e.g. ssh -v localhost or ftp localhost? If you can, then it's probably either the firewall or the ssh and ftp configuration.

Does your firewall set a default allow policy when you turn it off? If it does, nmap -sV should report the same thing locally and remotely? For example:
Code:
$ nmap -sV -p 22 localhost

Starting Nmap 4.00 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-02-21 08:38 EST
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
PORT   STATE SERVICE VERSION
22/tcp open  ssh     OpenSSH 4.2 (protocol 2.0)

Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.145 seconds

and

U:\utility\nmap-3.93>nmap -sV -p 22 10.225.40.23

Starting nmap 3.93 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap ) at 2006-02-21 08:41 E. Australia Standard Time
Interesting ports on 10.225.40.23:
PORT   STATE SERVICE VERSION
22/tcp open  ssh     OpenSSH 4.2 (protocol 2.0)
MAC Address: 00:11:43:C4:BD:AB (Dell)

Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 16.343 seconds
If you get the same thing locally and remotely, can you post your sshd_config file since it may be related to that.

Lots of maybes there... sorry about that

For what its worth Windows sets port 20 as ftp-data and port 21 as ftp-server
Is your port right?

When I setup SSH on my Mandriva machine, I had a similar problem. It turned out that I had enabled the SSH daemon but the port was blocked by the firewall. Maybe your situation is similar to mine, so it may help if you check your security settings to make sure that SSH is one of the services allowed by your firewall.

Did you run nmap on both machines? Is the sshd running? (ps aux | grep sshd)
