Shit, I don't know, I just roll into /var/logs, do an 'ls -t | head
-<number>' to see what's reporting current activity, and grep for the
daemon I'm looking for. Usually /var/log/daemon.
You're looking for any sshd refused connect errors. If you're not
seeing these messages, you're not even getting there.
Other thing to try is 'ssh -v host' -- this will give verbose output on
the status of the connection, allowing you to troubleshoot from the
client end.
