Topic: SSH: port 22: Connection refused

[Mike]

I'm trying to get SSH CVS working on SME 5.6. I have my public key stored in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, but I can't get the server to accept my connection.

If I do:

ssh -l localhost

on the server I get:

ssh: connect to address 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused

Is SSH access turned off by default? I have Secure Shell access set to private (there are only two clients on this network). I also have "Allow secure shell access using standard passwords" set to "No".

Is there anything I've missed?

Thanks

/etc/hosts.allow contains this line:

sshd : 127.0.0.1, 192.168.113.0/255.255.255.0

Thanks

Seems I can do ssh on the server ok, but not from my client. I keep getting connection refused. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Unless this is the problem:

Could not reverse map address

I'm making slow progress with WinCVS 1.2. It seems to connect but I always get back:

cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

The only info I found was that some people experience this when the server is experiencing high load, which mine definitely isn't. So does anyone have any ideas what else might cause this?

Thanks
