SSH not working

Post by timebirds »

Running Ubuntu 11.04.

No firewall or anything.
I'm really confused, and not being able to copy and paste on VPN is killing me.

Run /etc/init.d/sshd restart. Do you see any messages about why it won't start in the console, or in /var/log/messages after you run this?

It should have printed *something* to the log, even if it was a success message.

Does "ps auxw | grep sshd" show an SSH process running?
