Re: Connection Refused on ssh

Aha. Reading the file was useful! <grin>

The usual Redhat way of running ssh is to do:

service sshd start

Of course you can also ask for status:

service sshd status

And you get to turn it on when booting with:

chkconfig --level 35 sshd on

These are particularly nice features of Redhat/Fedora systems. They do a
nice job of managing provided services.
