No I don't have a fire wall running (thank you James Spinti) I did (as root) ps -ef grep | sshd (thank you Johnny Fulcrum) results root 27813 27782 0:09:04 tty1 00:00:00: grep sshd This is where I get lost because I don't know how to interpret the output of grep so... I did ps -ef | more This displayed all the processes, "sshd" is not on the list. So I do not have "sshd" running. Where did I put that CD...
