How do I set up a ssh server to run on my machine? I am trying to connect to it using ssh from my college computer, but connections is always refused! Does that mean the server is not set up right? Thanks

What distro?
Is your linux box directly connected to the internet? If not, you will need to setup port forwarding on the router/gateway to your box.
Is openssh installed?
If you are using RedHat/Mandrake try the command /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start as root to start the sshd daemon.
What are you currently trying to connect to you linux box when it refuses? Commands? From where?

I'm having problems with ssh as well. I'm using Redhat 8. I have port 22 opened for my linux box. I tried connecting locally to it with putty. I also have a buddy trying to connect to it from his linux box as well. I can connect to him but he can't connect to me :( Any ideas?

UPDATE:
I had my security settings, so they didn't allow ssh. Now working like a charm and buddy can connect. :D
