I've been trying to ssh to my Windows XP box for some time. At one time I ran something with a name like ssh-system-config. I told it to add sshd as a service. sshd starts at boot. I've told Windows that sshd is a good guy. When I hit sshd with a SIGHUP, Windows told me sshd was trying to do something dangerous. I told Windows to let it. I cannot ssh to my Windows box. Connection timed out. I can ssh within my Windows box using its IP address, 134.... I can ssh to a neighbor running a Mandriva live CD, also a 134.... I suspect some flag in Windows XP that I haven't found. Any suggestions?
I've discovered that if I kill the demon, I still get timeout from the outside, but connection refused locally. I haven't been able to restart the demon: /var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writeable. Also, /etc/services is a broken symbolic link. -- Michael henne...@web.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu "Pessimist: The glass is half empty. Optimist: The glass is half full.
