Accessing my Linux machine remotely by ssh
Hi all
How can I access my machine from outher machine using ssh. I have configured it in Mandrake control centre for ftp and ssh. but when I try to do do remote login tru a win machine running ssh, It says my machine is unreachable, and ask me to look at misconfigured firewall?
Any suggestion to make it work?

Double check the IP and Port settings.
I can't speak for Mandrake, but for Debian it was as simple as installing ssh and then logging in.
Check that Mandrake has actually started SSH, and not just set it to start at login.
Also, check /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow to confirm that you have allow SSH access from outside.

Can you ping your machine? Can it ping your windows box? If not, then you may have a firewall problem, or some other networking problem.
Even if you can ping your machine, you may still have a firewall blocking certain ports, including the one ssh uses by default. Try changing the sshd to use port 80 instead. Don't do this if you're running a web server, use another port. Try using nmap to locate available ports on your machine.
Man sshd should get you started on using a custom port for your ssh server.
