Based on your question, I'll consider that you're pretty much using a standard iptables config. edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables Add the following line, somewhere in the middle - it allows inbound connections to TCP port 22: -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT If you want to restrict access to a single IP address try this, - it allows inbound connections to port 22 from ip address 1.2.3.4: -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -s 1.2.3.4/32 --dport 22 -j ACCEPT Then restart iptables /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables restart; Cheers! -Ben On Tuesday 25 October 2005 09:54, Mauricio Merlin wrote: > My Centos 4.1 only accept connections from localhost, my file conf is > default. > error: ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.78 port 22: No route to host > > > thanks > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978
