[DLC] SSH What?

[Scott Behrens]

Well guys I got it resolved.  Seemed to be a bind issue.  In
particular, sshd was trying to listen to requests for both IPv6 and
IPv4.  By uncommeting the line "ListenAddress 0.0.0.0".  This forces
ssh to only listen to IPv4 requests.  I saw messages in the secure.log
file that said that said ssh was already listening to port 22.  By
forcing IPv4 and restarting the sshd service, I was sucessfully able
to log in.

# sshd_config file
#Port 22
#Protocol 2,1
ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::



Thanks!
