Since the early hours of this morning an ssh connection to my office computer has stopped functioning. Looking up ***.249.226.25 Trying***.249.226.25:21 Trying ***.249.226.25:21 ..... long list of these tries For the sake of not advertising a target, I put the asterisks in; I'm not sure what to do, or where to begin. This seemed to occur after an update last night of ssh - I suppose that's a natural place to look, but what to look for? If I look at my firewall rules allowing ssh, the properties page shows ssh allowed on port 22 - the above connection seems to be attempting on port 21 - is this my problem? If not, can anyone suggest troubleshooting avenues? By the way, my firewall program is FWBuilder, and when it compiles and installs its scripts, it connects to my firewall using ssh - now, this is all being done right on the firewall itself, but I tried a compile/install just now, and the log showed a successfull local connection - I believe the way my rules work is that all loop-backs are permitted, so if I'm correct, this would tell me that ssh itself is working... If I've got this all wrong, I wouldn't be surprised. Suggestions? -- Claude Jones Bluemont, VA, USA
