sshd

[Roy Stuivenberg <roys1012@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have a question concerning sshd.
I'm unable to connect from outside to my Debian box.
Because I can't find the answer on the internet, I'm asking this
to the Debian mailinglist.
I have been using Debian before few years ago, for not too long period,
and the last years I was using FreeBSD unix.
So I'm not sure about my sshd_config file, or maybe is there some way
that I have to enable sshd (beside /etc/default/ssh) ??

Als I have installed Monit, to see what messages I would get.

(Connection failed Service sshd 

        Date:        Sat, 31 Oct 2009 03:51:03 +0100
        Action:      restart
        Host:        rs-debian
        Description: 'sshd' failed, cannot open a connection to
INET[localhost:50022] via TCP

Your faithful employee,
monit)

I'm using Debian with standard kernel.
 uname -a
Linux rs-debian 2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Oct 19 02:34:17 UTC 2009
x86_64 GNU/Linux

I really hope to find the answer, because I'm happy with Debian and want
to keep using it :)

Regards,

Roy Stuivenberg.
