Yes, sshd is running:

  185 ?        00:00:00 sshd

Me is a standard user (barik), not root, having access to group users,
audio and video. I am at a University, the network is not firewalled. I
have not specifically installed a firewall or any firewall type software
on my Debian box (as far as I know - how would I check this?).

Please advise.
