ssh question

Hi Larry,

Can you get to lapdog2 to stop and restart the /etc/init,d/sshd daemon?

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

<sometimes it's ssh not sshd>

If you have verified it is on on that server and listening:

# /etc/init.d/ssh status
# netstat -ant |grep "22"

You can then go to your remote system and run nmap with stealth settings to
verify that port 22 is not filtered by iptables or something else (listening
on eth0 instead of wlan1 or eth1).

# nmap -P0 lapdog2
