Re: [PLUG] sshd on sabayon

You hit the nail on the head.  The problem was the pesky firewall.  I didn't install it, it came on there by default.  I removed it and rebooted the computer and ssh worked fine.  I'm copying my tarball backup over right now.  It's nice to know that saybayon comes locked down, but I need to be able to ssh to make backups.  I typically use sshfs to mount my laptop filesystem on my desktop when I want to make/restore a backup.

That is a potential problem (run netstat -tlpn | grep sshd to find out
what it is bound to).  However, the fact that you're using ufw as a
firewall is the more likely problem.  I'm not a netfilter expert and
ufw has complex rules set up, but the fact that I don't see anything
accepting ssh connections suggests they're getting dropped.

Chances are somewhere in ufw there is a place to configure ports to
open, and you'll want to open port 22.
