I have read all the suggestions. I am unclear how the configuration at either end (on each openSUSE machine) can effect this. Unless something told ssh/sshd to connect on other than port 22. This is not the case. I see that sshd on the destination is listening on port 22. Both systems are in the default setup. When I connect (the firewall lets all ports thru) I do not see an additional port open (netstat -lp). But maybe there is one used just when the password is read? The firewall is in Barcelona and I am in Stockholm. As I need to get some work done, I am unable to tell them to restrict access to port 22. I will be able to do that next week. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
