I am running sshd on a RedHat Linux 7.1 (with the latest upgrades for all openssh* rpms) Dell computer, but cannot seem to connect to it:
[prompt]$ ssh machine-name.umn.edu Secure connection to machine-name.umn.edu refused. In debug mode: [prompt]$ ssh machine-name.umn.edu -v OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090600f debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Seeding random number generator debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted. debug1: restore_uid debug1: ssh_connect: getuid 500 geteuid 0 anon 1 debug1: Connecting to <hostname> [<IP address>] port 22. debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 500/500 (e=0) debug1: restore_uid debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 500/500 (e=0) debug1: connect: Connection refused debug1: restore_uid debug1: Trying again...

The machine I'm trying to connect to seems to be running sshd: [prompt]$ ps -elf | grep sshd 140 S root 1354 1 0 69 0 - 662 do_sel 14:24 ? 00:00:00 and it can connect to other machines without problems. Oddly, in /etc/xinetd.d/, there are many services, but ssh is not among them.

The file /etc/ssh/sshd_config is exactly as in the following version: # $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.38 2001/04/15 21:41:29 deraadt Exp $ Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? or what I need to install?
