The dhclient is a client (just as the ssh program), while
the system has to run some kind of SSH _server_ (sshd on
FreeBSD for example). Additionally, network configuration
and especially firewall has to _permit_ the access to that
specific service (that has to be enabled).

There is a nice summary on how to get the OpenSSH server
set up on Fedora:

http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Configuring_Fedora_Linux_Remote_Access_using_SSH

Basically, it's about installing and enabling it. The article
also discusses how to enable configure the firewall properly.
