connection?

Not totally sure, but whilst you're in, running "ps" should show a
process named sshd.

Assuming you have debian, run:

for the client
# apt-get update; apt-get install ssh

and the daemon
# apt-get update; apt-get install sshd

Do a "ps aux|grep ssh" and ignore the "grep ssh"-line if it appears.
That should show whether there are any clients / daemons running.
