Re: Grief: installing OpenSSH on Cygwin / WindowsServer2003


It finally turned out to be that /etc/hosts.deny was too restrictive:

ALL:ALL EXCEPT localhost:DENY

I ran ssh-host-config, but did not run ssh-user-config. Must have overlooked that step. Perhaps that would have taken care of it?

Thanks,
Chap

Have you run ssh-host-config? ssh-user-config?


Have you opened up port 22 in your firewall?

Have you tried telnet to port 22 from localhost and from another host?


HTH,
