When I try connecting to my nitix server with:

ssh user@server

If I am connecting as admin it prompts me for a password and then displays:

connection closed ::1

if i try connecting as a non admin user, it doesn't prompt me for a password. Just gives me the same thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Has the ssh daemon been started and running on the server?

check dmesg or /var/log/messages for useful errors. Sounds like your hostkey could be corrupted.

Has this ever worked?

I checked my log for errors. The log is showing that its not accepting my connection but its not showing that my connection is coming from ssh. Could it be that ssh is not even installed? What directory would it be in?

usually under /usr/sbin/sshd

Try 'find / -name sshd' to locate it, see if it's running w/ 'ps -ax | grep ssh' -- try to kill it & restart it.

SSH is pretty standard & installed by default on most distro's -- also, the fact that it prompts you for a password means something is running on that port -- otherwise it would just time out.

What does the log file say?
