Re: [Bigsister-general] Strange SSH check failure on Debian Sarge

["Peter Varlien" <suppressed>]

Please note that you guys are testing two very different things here.

The "procs" test checks that there is at least one sshd process running (and 
also provides a performance graph of how many sshd processes are running 
over time). It doesn't show that the ssh service is actually WORKING.

The "ssh" test actually tries to connect to the ssh port at the address 
specified. I suspect that this could be Paul's problem: maybe BigSister is 
attempting to connect to the localhost address (127.0.0.1), but sshd is not 
configured to listen to that address. Another possibility is access 
controlls, i.e. hosts.allow or hosts.deny, that don't allow the host to 
accept connections from itself. Thinking about it, the latter is more likely 
to be the problem than the former.

Hope this helps,

Peter
