unable to connect via ssh

Hi !

I want to connect from my acer aspire 5920 to the aspire one via ssh but I get the answer : connection refused !

I've installed the module iptables on the aspire one en then service iptables stop to shutdown the firewall.

Opening an ssh-session from my aspire one to my aspire 5920 works fine ! But the other way around does not work.

What can I do ?

 

Have you installed the ssh server on your AA1? Do a search in pirut for sshd and you'll find openssh-server. You might also want to install denyhosts, so that you can control what boxes are able to ssh into your AA1.

Cheers.

 

Yes I've installed it via add/remove programs : openssh-server, client en -devel...

No result...

 

Do you now have a files called /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny ? Have you looked into them to see whether you're allowing your other ip address to connect?

Also, if you're going through a router, have you opened up port 22, the default port for ssh?

Cheers.

 

I think the router is no problem because I can connect in 1 way: from aspire one to aspire 5920 works fine like I said.

When connecting from aspire one to aspire 5920 via ssh, I got the question to add my aspire 5920 to the known hosts file and so I did.

hosts.allow and hosts.deny are both empty.

I've puth now in hosts.allow :
ALL : 192.168.123. 127.0.0.1 localhost

ssh: connect to host 192.168.123.114 port 22: Connection refused

still get : connection refused

 

I haven't installed sshd on the Aspire. Does it install and use portmap? Is there a script to start portmap in /etc/init.d ? Is it running?

Cheers.

 

Have you actually started the ssh server on the Aspire One?

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start

I am yet to find a way to get this to start automatically on boot, but if i find something, i will update this thread

 

Haven't tried it, as I don't have sshd running on the AAO, but maybe you could add the line to the /etc/rc.local file? Probably don't need sudo.

Let us know if that works.

Cheers.

 

And I now have a solution to starting ssh on boot.

You can see the information on this here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4629

 

May i ask how do u install the iptables modules?

Do i need recompil the kernel ?

Thanks

 

Yes, otherwise it will be completely useless...

Then again - why do you need a firewall on the One ?

 

I will use NAT to put my xbox in the internet... i just waiting ubuntu .10 to xperiment it. ;P

i got a wireless router but i dont have a wireless adpter in my xbox, so i gonna use the aspireOne as router.

I do know how to configure the iptables but i don´t know how to recompile with new modules.. ;P

Thanks cya
