Connection refused
Yesterday I upgraded one of my computers to Leap 15.4. Everything works fine except for problems with the network. When I try to connect to it from outside by ssh, it answers: ssh: connect to host az port 22: Connection refused At first I thought it was a firewall problem. So, I stopped firewalld and changed the start mode to "manual" in yast. But that did not help. How can I allow connections from outside again? Thank you in advance, Wolfgang

Maybe check that sshd is running and listening on port 22 ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.9°C)

Also (or ... to do that ...) run "journalctl -u sshd" as root. If this does not give any clues, replace "-u" with "-fu", type a few CRs and then try to connect.

Thank you very much, Per. You have found the error immediately. After starting sshd, connections are no longer refused. Best regards, Wolfgang

The defaults on new installations is not to start the ssh daemon. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.3)

"Yesterday I upgraded one of my computers to Leap 15.4." does not sound like a "new installation" to me ...

You are right, it was a new installation, but I left the partitions unchanged that did not contain the system. That's the reason why I wrote "I upgraded", but now, respecting your objection, which is completely justified, I am going to avoid this verb in further posts. Cheers, Wolfgang

I am aware that many people say "upgrade" when it is a new install over a previous one :-) So I guessed that it was in fact "not a strict upgrade" :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.3)

Hi Wolfgang I'm glad it helped. I would check the status of your sshd - "systemctl status sshd". Make sure it is enabled. If it is enabled (which I feel certain it is), there will be a reason why it failed to start. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.5°C)

Thank you very much, Per. You have found the error immediately. After starting sshd, connections are no longer refused. Best regards, Wolfgang For future use, you can try "ssh -v" to find out where the client is getting stuck. The "-v" option can be repeated up to three times. "ssh -vvv" gives me more than six pages of detail for a successful connection, and is a great help in narrowing things down. -- Bob Rogers http://www.rgrjr.com/

sshd is not default from a very long time. I use to install remote servers and have to double check if I opened ssh (firewall + daemon) before leaving the install else I have no way to join the server :-) jdd -- http://dodin.org http://valeriedodin.com

ISTR opening a ticket on precisely that, years ago. When you install over ssh, sshd will be started by default. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (26.1°C)

i am on tumbleweed and have had a vew month in past some problems copnnecting to a old server: if you connect to a old system, it might be that the key methode will not work any more your client offer. newer ssh has drop or disabled some of the old methodes. but my error message was a little different could also that the key is verry old and you have to generate new keys you could tell the ssh to use old key methode, but you should not do this if you go over internet...... some parts of my notes: according to :https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-curdle-ssh-kex-sha2-09.html maybe use for older systems (best of the worse for very old systems): diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 (or for your case maybe a more weak is needed, or a better could be used) at to /etc/ssh/ssh_config 4 new lines: Host yourhostname KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 Host your.host.ipv4.adress KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 same/similar to this should work the oposite way, if you have a new host and try to connect from a old client. again if is this problem be sure you know what you do, otherwise you will drill a nice hole into your security...... better ist to update the ssh / sshd on both sides (if possible). simoN -- www.becherer.de
