Hey, my post has been deleted! o_O Can you telnet to the box on port 22?
Quote:nothing deleted, just one mysql database moved to another with the resulting slight mismatch of active posts, next time i do this i'll shutdown the site properly so posts don't get lost.
heres the original post from the other mysql..
Code:
Can you telnet on port 22 from the outside? Are you logged in as real root or did you use "su -" (check for the dash!) when running "iptables -nL"?
sorry about that, cheers anyweb

Bah.. and I'll do it again.. ;)
You can create the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files if you want, although when they are missing all should be accepted iirc
ssh works fine on local machine but not remote one.
my /etc/ don't have hosts.allow & hosts.deny in it.
i emerge the telnet. but i have not got that running yet. but i'll test on telnet once i have time... tonight going out drinking and tomorrow going out drinking lol. Monday back to work.
I didn't have chance to try them today because my boss need me to do some extra work for him coz my bosses is having a break weekend :)

indeed telnet is a foolish plain text protocol, but its not what z0ny is suggesting, he is suggesting telneting to the ssh port to see if its open.
the telnet/netcat commands are great for simple network testing.. and not just open ports but to see if a server is in fact doing the right thing..
Test a proxy
Code:
# telnet PROXY 8080
...
GET http://www.site.com/ HTTP/1.1
...
Test a mail server
Code:
# telnet SMTPSERVER 25
....
quit
....
etc etc anything that uses plain text protocols (irc ;))
