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).
I think you're mixing that up with sendmail. sshd will, by default, bind to all interfaces on port 22.
Yep, that's what I was thinking about. Sorry, that's what I get from shooting from the hip.
2) For some reason, I commonly had a problem with SeLinux blocking ssh. I turn it off.
Never had a problem with ssh and selinux. Don't turn things off blindly. If you think you have a selinux issue, investigate.
Our mileage certainly varies with this one. Unfortunately, I hop around distros, so I can't remember if it was Fedora I had this issue with. Nonetheless, I've had cases where SeLinux was blocking these ports.
3) Sometimes I forget to set up the rsa keys and nothing will authenticate.
When the sshd is started for the first time, the server certs will be generated.
Yes, I know. However, I have, in the past, managed to screw things up tinkering with things, and had a hell of a time making it right again.
