SSHD is running on my box, my router is setup to do all 'ssh' to my box.
SSHD is runing on server.
When I do ssh -x to server it just times-out, no error messages.
That is what happens when you try to connect to some services on some
systems I maintain, and it's what happens when our students try to use
the Internet at times school rules forbid it.
I just drop the packets, and the offending systems eventually time out.
What network command can I use to see if 'ssh' is even getting to
server from my box.
I can ssh -x from this box to another server with no problems.
I have 'root' access to server, what can I check there? the server is
connected to a DSL AT&T black box. no router.
Both my box and server is Fedora 8.
I would check to see if the firewall is on on the box, and if sshd is
setup to run. Timeout usually means one of those is the issue.

Thanks Roger for your responds, but I stumbled across the problem, the
'openssh-askpass' package wasn't installed on server, I used ssh -x to
install that.
I don't understand this. I judge that the RH/Fedora description is
incomplete: here's how Debian describes it:
Description: under X, asks user for a passphrase for ssh-add
This is Jim Knoble's free implementation of the ssh-askpass program.
.
Jim calls this x11-ssh-askpass, but I've decided to call it ssh-askpass
to make it easier to find, because this is almost certainly the version
you want.
The other two versions from the OpenSSH source are also available if
you're
interested (as ssh-askpass-ptk and ssh-askpass-gnome).
.
The non-free implementation is no longer being packaged. Its source is
still available, as part of ssh-nonfree's source.

I don't believe I've ever used it, though I use the ssh command dozens
of times a day. Certainly, one can't have openssh-askpass without X, but
I regularly use ssh outside of X, and where appropriate it prompts for
my password the same way whether I'm in an X environment or not.
I'm trying to get NX to work on this server, so I can connect with my
laptop, It gets all the way up to "establish display"
and after that the server disconnects me.
Thanks for your responds.
I think that in order to get a good answer you need to give a good
description. You are our eyes, don't leave us blind!
