Hi all! I feel dumb having to ask this, I feel I should know the answer, but can't dredge it up. I've recently installed F20 on my old eeepc, where it seems to run fine, btw, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to connect to it from another system with ssh. I've made sure that sshd is installed, and "systemctl list-unit-files" shows it as enabled. As far as I can figure out how to use the relatively new firewall app (and I have to admit some hesitance there since I'm not sure I really DO understand it...) the necessary ports are open. however when I attempt to connect to it with ssh from another box I get I get an instantaneous "ssh: connect to host 192.168.2.117 port 22: connection refused". And when I attempt to connect back to itself: "ssh -X fredex@localhost" I get the same thing. If someone can give me a whack on the head (designed to joggle my brains a bitg--in a good way) I'd appreciate the guidance. thanks!
Here are the things that have kept sshd from working on new installations for me in the past. I don't know which, if any, would apply to Fedora 20 today. 1) As I remember, some ssh setups come configured so that they will only talk to localhost (though that may be ftp, not ssh). 2) For some reason, I commonly had a problem with SeLinux blocking ssh. I turn it off. 3) Sometimes I forget to set up the rsa keys and nothing will authenticate. billo -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
