I just got my quad i5 box to replace the old, broken tao. this was the box with the busted USB. [!] Anyway, linux is installed; the box is on my internal IP net. I can ssh *out*. to my server, vut from my server or wherever, I cant ssh back in. doing an % ssh 10.47.0.114 OR ssh tao gives me an instant "Connection refused". if I try an ssh -X tao I get a string like "Connnection closed". can any of you network wizards or setup wizards clue me in. {FWIW:: the ssh stuff is from OpenBSD.} anybody know what im NOT doing? gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Twenty-six years of service to the Unix community.
