Couple of things to try:

* make sure sshd is running

ps ax | grep sshd

if not, start it "service sshd start"

* make sure it's listening on the interfaces you want it to listen on

netstat -na | grep :22

by default it listens on all interfaces

* turn off iptables for testing purposes

iptables -F
iptables -X

* telnet into port 22 from a host

telnet yourserver 22

the response should be:

# telnet yourserver 22
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to yourserver.yourdomain.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.9p1
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.

If that works, then your sshd is working fine.

Michael.
