uni directional ssh -

[Bob Goodwin]

I have two F7 computers on my LAN.  Box7 will ssh into box6 but box6 can 
not ssh into box7?
I use Firestarter, have tried stopping it in both computers to no avail.

Box6 will ping box7 but will not connect.

ssh box7
ssh: connect to host box7 port 22: Connection refused

ping box7 -c3

The symptoms with sftp are similar as might be expected.

Is the ssh daemon running on the box you cannot ssh into?

That is my first thought.

I should have continued with.

chkconfig sshd --list

If it is off in the run lever of choice then:

chkconfig sshd on

service sshd start

I'm glad I asked!  That was it.

service sshd status
sshd is stopped

Thank you.  I've been messing with this for more than an hour!

Now your next step is to see if it will be running after the next boot:
    chkconfig --list sshd
and if it isn't going to be started at levels 2..5, then you probably 
left it out of the config at install, and there isn't a firewall rule 
for it either. Otherwise you stopped the process or it didn't start for 
some reason.

Try running "netstat -ap | grep ssh" as root on box7 to make sure that you have an ssh server (aka sshd) running.

I would first make sure sshd is running on Box 7:
service sshd status

If it is, then take a look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config - check for an
uncommented ListenAddress option.

You can also check the logs on Box7 to see if there is anything
there from sshd...

sshd was not running!  I won't miss that one again.

Thanks to all.
