Hi, Whenever I am trying to do ssh/telnet/emerge --sync in root mode it gives me error saying "Connection Refused: Forbidden". while same works fine in user mode. Below are some examples .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ flukebox flukebox # ssh csews53 Connection Refused: Forbidden ssh: connect to host csews53 port 22: Connection refused flukebox flukebox # wget yahoo.com --2008-02-12 19:50:15-- http://yahoo.com/ Resolving relproxy.iitk.ac.in... 172.31.1.233 Connecting to relproxy.iitk.ac.in|172.31.1.233|:3128...

This error may have something to do with permissions, I guess. But i have no clue where is the error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Flukebox
