Do I need to configure SSH, and how ? 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.
