Yeah, rpm seems to not automagically start the service. I think debian
used to do that too. I figure I'm installing it cuz I want to run it
:). Then again having a way to install and not autostart is good...

Try "ps -ef" instead of "ps aux". If it's running you should be able to
see it. You're not using mandrake with a high security setting, are you?

Sounds like you're getting a connection. If it were tcpwrapper or some
such refusing it, you should get info in your logs. I presume you're
looking at all the different logfiles.

Try sshing from your box to itself. Turn on verbose messaging and see if
it tells you where the hangup is.
