[newbie] ssh problem?
I'm trying to get CVS to work from my linux box across to the server which is running hpux and I get this error. I thought my problem was that ssh was not installed on the hp machine. It now is installed but I still get the following error. ssh: connect to address a.b.c.d port 22: Connection refused I tried watching the packets in ethereal but it didn't give me any info that helped. Is something not running? Have I configured something wrong? How can I determine if the problem is my box or the other box? TIA Jeanie Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] SSH problem
Barry, Sounds like telnet has been disabled on the linux side, but ssh is going to work for you. This is a much better solution (much more secure). Just download putty from: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and you should be in business. There are other W$ ssh clients you could use too, but putty seems popular and it works very nicely for me. Click on the ssh radio button and just type in your host name or ip and you should get a login prompt.

Using telnet on my XP machine to access port 22 results in a blank screen and a disconnect in a few seconds. The log shows 'sshd refused connect from 140.150.160.2' (my XP machine's intranet address). After several hours searching, I'm no closer to figuring out what's going on.

Re: [newbie] SSH problem
Howdy Barry, You seem to be using telnet and ssh interchangabley when they're not. SSH is secure, while telnet is not, and SSH uses port 22, while telnet uses port 23. I recommend using SSH. Now, the box that you're ssh'ing to must specifically allow ssh connections, which is configured independently of the ssh daemon. Instead, you must add the following lines to /etc/hosts.allow: sshd sshd1 sshd2 : ALL : ALLOW Give that a shot and let us know if that does the trick.

Re: [newbie] SSH problem
Well, actually, I'm using SecureCRT that supports SSH, but I was using telnet just to test the connection. That suggestion fixed it. The line was in there, but I put: shhd : ANY : allow instead of: sshd : ANY : ALLOW I found that line in one of the online HOWTO's. Oh, well, I'm still learning..

Re: [newbie] SSH problem
I used to get something similar when I tried to run MicroEmacs using the stock MS telnet client. Try setting a different terminal emulation.
