(1) See if sshd is really listening there: netstat -a; nc localhost ssh (2) Are you sure you looked in the appropriate logfile? The default one is /var/log/auth.log (3) Sniff on the connection using tcpdump(8) or friends (4) Maybe it's not the server, but the client where the problem lies? (5) Debugging both sshd & ssh with strace(1), you can get a really detailed picture of what's going on; combine with (3). HTH, Jan. -- Jan Minar "Please don't CC me, I'm subscribed." x 9 (0) I have restarted the machine several times before without a problem. I have actually not worried much about the server side of ssh since I installed it, and the installer set it up. (1) ssh was not listening, Even when I run sshd -d I don't see anything. On another machine where ssh words, I see the expected output, so I know I typed it in correctly. (2) I tail -f this logfile. The only time it came up with a new entry was when the connection was successful during the sshd -d This entry stated that the connection was successful for root. (3) I used tcpdump and saw the ssh request being made by my client computer. Since ssh wasn't actually listening it did not respond. When in debug mode I also saw the ssh connection. (4) I can connect in debug mode. (5) I did the strace, and it is very detailed. I compared it to a strace from another machine where ssh works, and I don't see any significant differences. Is there anything I should be looking at specifically? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
