[opensuse] accept ssh into boxen

I have set up an older box with 11.1 Xfce4 and set the firewall to accept ext_tcp for port 22, reloaded the firewall and started sshd. sshd is running. but I cannot ssh into this machine. The firewall logs all show "DROP" for any access attempts (vnc also). pulling hair as I have never had this problem before. Is it old age and forgetfulness or *have* I found a ?problem? tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
