Yes that's it, pmfirewall.  A very handy little program.  Does the
following command allow accepting of SSH if pmfirewall has turned it
off? -

ipchains -A input -p TCP -d any/0 22 -j ACCEPT

I'm not very familiar with the command line program they should run to
figure out if sshd is running.  Should they run: -

chkconfig --list sshd

Thanks!
