Connection Refused on ssh

[John J. Boyer]

Janina,

well, adding that line to /etc/hosts.allowed didn't jork. The machine 
won't even respond to telnet when I use its IP address. It will respond 
to ping, however.

I'm beginning to think I should call that machine the mule, because  it's 
so stubborn.
