This sounds like an FAQ? Let me guess the server is running with a high msec security mode. If you have lines like these in your /etc/hosts.deny: # Mandrake-Security : if you remove this comment, remove the next line too. ALL:ALL EXCEPT localhost:DENY Then you need to add something like this in /etc/hosts.allow: sshd:ALL Note that this will open ssh for everyone. If you want to be more specific run this command to get the man page on the format of those files: man 5 hosts_access -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org Never take no as an answer from someone who isn't authorized to say yes.
