Have you checked that tao is actually running a SSH server?

The way _how_ to enable it depends on the distribution you're
using and is very different among the Linusi.

The FreeBSD equivalent would be something like

	# /etc/rc.d/sshd start

or putting sshd_enable="YES" into /etc/rc.conf to have this
task at boot.

Depending on what Linux you are using, this may be as easy as
on FreeBSD... or overcomplicated, because "nobody needs this
anyway". :-)
