Hi all!
I feel dumb having to ask this, I feel I should know the answer, but
can't dredge it up.
I've recently installed F20 on my old eeepc, where it seems to run fine,
btw, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to connect to it from
another system with ssh.
I've made sure that sshd is installed, and "systemctl list-unit-files"
shows it as enabled. As far as I can figure out how to use the relatively
new firewall app (and I have to admit some hesitance there since I'm
not sure I really DO understand it...) the necessary ports are open.
however when I attempt to connect to it with ssh from another box I get
I get an instantaneous "ssh: connect to host 192.168.2.117 port 22:
connection refused". And when I attempt to connect back to itself:
"ssh -X fredex@localhost" I get the same thing.
If someone can give me a whack on the head (designed to joggle my brains
a bitg--in a good way) I'd appreciate the guidance.
thanks!
Here are the things that have kept sshd from working on new installations for
me in the past. I don't know which, if any, would apply to Fedora 20 today.
1) As I remember, some ssh setups come configured so that they will only talk
to localhost (though that may be ftp, not ssh).
2) For some reason, I commonly had a problem with SeLinux blocking ssh. I turn
it off.
3) Sometimes I forget to set up the rsa keys and nothing will authenticate.
