Check tcp_wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow and/or /etc/hosts.deny) and iptables
for rules that deny access to remote networks but not local networks.

/etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny do not list any machines whatsoever.
Is that OK?  Maybe this stuff is in another file?

As for iptables, I tried two or three times to read the relevant
chapter in RH Unleashed, and never got the concepts straight (I was
not trying very hard though).  Maybe I should try again.

I'd also verify that you are using the correct username from your laptop.
 If you aren't supplying one, it will likely default to the xp username.  If
that user doesn't exist on the RH box, you'll get a Permission denied.

I guess that is the equivalent of `is the power on'.  It is :-)


If /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny are empty, then tcp_wrappers isn't being used.

/var/log/secure is where ssh login attempts are located.
