A "connection refused" message is indicative of either the port being blocked or closed. When you say you "opened the port 22" does that mean that you enabled access in your firewall config? If so, then the next place to check would be to make sure that there is actually a service listening on port 22:
At a prompt and as root do "netstat -tpln | grep 22" If sshd is running the you should see something like: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 928/sshd If not, then sshd is not running. Chkconfig it on (chkconfig sshd on) and start it (service sshd start). -Steve -----Original Message----- From: linux power [mailto:linuxpower2002@;yahoo.no] Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 6:59 AM To: redhat mail list Subject: SSH question. I get network error :connection refused when I try to login with ssh from remote host. I have opened the port 22 on the linux server, so I wonder if there is anything else to do. http://home.no.net/~knutove/knut_ove_hauge_kuren.htm Yahoo!
