[TriLUG] SSH and MSEC again

[Jon Carnes]

At Msec level 4 the firewall is never off... Check again.

/etc/shorewall/rules
  ACCEPT    net     fw      tcp     80,443,53,22,25,109,110,143

The port for ssh is 22 (I've got some other open due to the services
running on my server).

Also, try using (in /etc/hosts.allow):
  sshd: ALL

At least for now, so you can see what the problem is (and Tanner is
right - if you look in the logs you will see exactly why it isn't
allowing ssh to work. Very nice logging in Mandrake).
