Subject: Re: can't ssh from host to remote
sudo netstat -anp | grep tcp | grep LISTEN

-a == all
-n == do not resolve dns (slows it down significantly)
-p == show the app opening the socket (requires sudo to enumerate)

grep tcp == look for tcp-based sockets (most apps won't use udp)
grep LISTEN == look at listening sockets, vs established that indicated
something *is* connected

This is a good one to remember, this shows all your "listening"
sockets. Your ssh socket is outbound to another host, but doesn't look
like sshd is listening on port 22, which won't let you in.

TCP/UDP sockets are your door into the system.

mb@host ~ $ sudo netstat -anp | grep tcp | grep ssh
[sudo] password for mb:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:* LISTEN      
19847/sshd
tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::* LISTEN      19847/sshd


First is ipv4-based socket, second is ipv6-based. You should see
similar, with 0.0.0.0 meaning it's listening on _all_ interfaces.

-mb
