I'm not sure what I need to do to make it work. I'm running 5-CURRENT from August 3 (back when 5 was still -CURRENT). I've confirmed that sshd is running (sshd_enable="YES" is in rc.conf). I've checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and I haven't changed any of the defaults. My firewall should allow this sort of thing, and just to make absolutely sure, I told my firewall to (temporarily) let in _everything_ from the entire class B network the remote machine is on. netstat says that my machine is listening on port 22. And I can 'ssh localhost' from my desktop to itself (though it does say, "socket: Protocol not supported" before successfully asking for my password). The remote machine in question is running OpenSSH_3.6.1p2, and I'm running OpenSSH_3.8.1p1. I thought maybe for some odd reason ssh'ing out is blocked on the remote machine, but then I remembered that a friend tried to ssh in from his OS X laptop the other day, and that timed out the same way the current remote machine is. And I don't get a "Permission denied" sort of error on the remote machine, just a timeout. Any ideas? Thanks, -David -- +++ Divide By Cucumber Error. Please Reinstall Universe And Reboot. +++
