Try starting sshd manually with the -d (debug) option,and then tail /var/log/messages to see what is going on. On 11/5/06, Mike Wright <xktnniuymlla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi all, Exploring fc6 and something strange is going on. I can't ssh in. When I enter "ssh -l mike test" I get a login prompt, enter my password, then nothing. If I look at the connection with tcpdump I see that the two hosts are communicating. selinux is disabled. iptables has been stopped. ip6tables has been stopped. Everything in /etc/xinetd.d is set disable = yes. chkconfig --list sshd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off service sshd stop Stopping sshd [OK] service sshd status sshd (pid 2205) is running service sshd stop Stopping sshd [FAILED] service sshd status sshd is stopped service sshd start error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed. Address already in use. OK, so I reboot.... service sshd status sshd (pid2205) is running sshd is set NOT to run on bootup but something is starting it, but whatever it is won't accept the login.
