Have you checked that tao is actually running a SSH server? The way _how_ to enable it depends on the distribution you're using and is very different among the Linusi. The FreeBSD equivalent would be something like # /etc/rc.d/sshd start or putting sshd_enable="YES" into /etc/rc.conf to have this task at boot. Depending on what Linux you are using, this may be as easy as on FreeBSD... or overcomplicated, because "nobody needs this anyway". :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
