Hi !
I turned off FW and then I can access it using SSH, so probably not a v1 or v2 issue. Yes sshd is running. Strange is that I setup FW with yast2 and surely allowe SSH as added service, I also accept port 22 to be open. This is confermed to be open using nmap scanning localhost (127.0.0.1)
--> You have to scan from OUTSIDE, because localhost may well be open locally while the FW is blocking the requests from outside. Check /etc/ssh/sshd_config to make sure there is no "ListenAddress" restrictions. Check /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 Make sure "ssh" is in "FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP". Check /etc/hosts.allow to make sure the hosts are allowed to connect to the ssh-daemon. Add a line sshd: your.ip or sshd: your.ip/netmask
Looking in /var/log/messages I notice that the boxes that want to gain access will be DROPPED by SuSE FW.
--> Could you post the line from /var/log/messages where the connection is dropped.
