are in the default setup.
PLEASE! Help us by reporting the following.
First, when you connect using ssh at the cli, what is the prompt offered
by the other end?
I, for one, would like to verify that you are indeed accessing the
remote _computer_ because the firewall is doing port-forwarding and that
you are not in fact accessing the ssh server on the firewall.
I realise this seems trivial, but we need to be *absolutely* sure.
Second, could you PLEASE report the output of "ssh -vvv".
If its short then in-line can do, if not please use one of the 'boxes'
were we an read a longer output.
+1 we would like to see the output.
I am also curious/concerned that you are connecting to what you are intending to
connect to. If you have confirmed the sshd_config in the server you are
attempting to connect to and 'Port' is either *unset* (default) or explicitly
set 'Port 22', then you are definitely on port 22. The server should also have
'Protocol 2' set to insure you are not being flummoxed by protocol differences.
As Anton suggests, the most telling output will be from your attempt with:
'ssh -vvv hostBehindBarcelonaFW'
The only other thought I have is that BarcelonaFW is in fact *NOT* forwarding
port 22 to the openSuSE box you need to connect with. Yes, you've confirmed the
config on the openSuSE box, but unless BarcelonaFW is taking your inbound
connection and explicitly forwarding it to SuSEhostBehindBarcelonaFW, you are
never getting the chance to actually establish the connection.
Also, if you have someone who has physical access to the server, you can have
them monitor sshd via `journalctl --no-pager --full --unit=sshd --follow`
Keep us posted and if you want more brainstorming, just yell. Also, if you have
a limited test account and want some help. Contact either Anton or I off-list
and we will be glad to help.
