ssh suddenly start refusing the connection

Post by evansmb » 2014/08/24 22:16:11

ssh suddenly start refusing the connection. I've verified selinux was disabled, I've restarted the service, and have disabled firewalld. would anyone have any other suggestions for resolving this?

Perhaps your sshd is not listening on the IP address? See what netstat -anp | grep sshd | grep LISTEN tells you. Here's what it says for me:

Code: Select all

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1157/sshd
tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN      1157/sshd
You could also check /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure to see if there are any hints about the problem.
