I have setup my computer with ssh access. I created a user that is part of the wheel group, and has /bin/bash as the default shell. I did an
rc-update add openssh default. I restarted the machine just to make sure that everything that I added to the default startup would start iptables, gpm, and ssh. All looked good. ssh reported its keys and everything looked good.

I then was able to ssh in to the computer using putty from my windows box, and I could ssh into it from my other Nix box. So far so good. I thought that I had it.

Today I tried to ssh into the above computer using putty and I now get a connection refused message. What gives? What could have changed? I shutdown all pc equipment at night. Turned everything back on this morning, and now ssh doesn't work. I am super confused.

Thanks in advance!

Three things pop into mind: First, make sure you're selecting ssh in putty -- by default, it uses telnet. Second, from a unix box, run
Code:
ssh -v -v <servername>

to get verbose output. (not sure if putty can do the same thing) Third, check your logs on the sshd server to see if anything pertinent is there.

Ok here is what I show in auth.log when I was able to connect...

Code:
May 28 21:57:42 ARES sshd[2264]: Could not reverse map address 192.168.xxx.x
May 28 21:57:45 ARES sshd[2264]: Accepted password for xxxx from 192.168.xxx.xxx port 2530
May 28 21:57:45 ARES sshd(pam_unix)[2264]: session opened for user xxxxx by (uid=0)
May 28 21:59:27 ARES sshd(pam_unix)[2264]: session closed for user xxxxx
May 29 00:49:25 ARES sshd[3351]: Could not reverse map address 192.168.xxx.xxx.
May 29 00:49:29 ARES sshd[3351]: Accepted password for xxxxx from 192.168.xxx.xxx port 3939


When I get the error:

Code:
May 29 16:08:43 ARES sshd[2173]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.


It then has a line that it is not able to bind to an address. Strange. I have more research to do hmmmmmm

Thank you for the remond on the logs! I get a big Doh for forgetting to check there first!
