- Is ssh on box6 running? (# service sshd status)
- On which port? (look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config)
- To which host:port are you connecting using ssh from box9 to box6?
  (box9# ssh -v box6)
- Does the ssh daemon receive the connection on box6? (monitor logs
  in (/var/log/messages)
- Does the firewall on box6 allow SSH connections?
  (iptables -L -n -v INPUT)
- Who resolves box6 into an IP number, i.e. who is the DNS server? Does
  the connection work if you use IPs instead of names directly?

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
