Hello, I have a Redhat 8.0 system which I must access with ssh. ºHowever, whenever I give a ssh command it says "Connection refused". How can I get around this? Below is my sshd_config file, if anyone cares to look at it. Thanks! # $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.56 2002/06/20 23:37:12 markus Exp $ # This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See # sshd_config(5) for more information. # This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin # The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with # OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where # possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options change a # default value.
