    Ssh

    I've done a new install of Debian 3.1 and I'm trying to Putty into the thing. I've tried:
    /etc/init.d/ssh start
    /etc/init.d/sshd start

    I can't connect to my server. What am I doing wrong? Is there something special about getting SSH to work on Debian?

    Thanks

    Two things to check:
    Configuration of sshd, in /etc/ssh/sshd_conf (see manpage for details).
    If you're using a firewall (or router with NAT firewall), forward the ssh port to the Debian computer (defaults to port 22, but you can change it in sshd_conf).
    Stand up and be counted as a Linux user!
