Are you sure that sshd is running on your device? Go to xterm and type:

Code:

ps | grep sshd

If you installed the OpenSSH Client, you can try to ssh the device from the device itself to check if ssh is working. To do that, type:

Code:

ssh root@localhost

If the last one works, you definitely have a network problem - either your network doesn't rely the connection to the N900, or you have a wrong IP.

opne terminal
type; sudo gainroot
type; /etc/init.d/ssh start

there you go ssh running on the N900 [make user openssh client & server deb is installed from the repo's]. SSH has to be called directly through a full path, once started its fine.

Been ssh'ing from various platforms for a few weeks.

ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: connection refused

Well, in that case you either don't have OpenSSH Server installed (install from here: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/M...penssh-server/ ), or you don't have it running. If it's not running you can start it from xterm with:

Code:

sudo gainroot
initctl start sshd

I had the same issue and then found out the default password for openSSH is "rootme"

Cheers,
