Why does ssh loop with "Secure connection refused'?

The Secure Shell (SSH) FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
SSH1 attempts to fall back to the "r" commands when it cannot connect to an ssh daemon on the remote host. It does this by execing your old rsh to use the old protocol. You probably have installed ssh as rsh, and forgotten to give the --with-rsh=PATH option to configure the second time. When ssh is looking for rsh, it keeps executing itself (or an older version of itself). To solve this, recompile ssh with the correct place for rsh.

So, I'm confused. If Datafellows sells Secure Shell, what does SSH Communications Security do?

The Secure Shell (SSH) FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
SSH Communications Security develops the SSH technology along with IPSec toolkits. However, Datafellows has licensing rights to sell and support SSH. SSH Communications Security does not provide support for SSH; however, SSH Communications Security does develeop the technology--so bug reports are welcome. If these resources don't help, you can post to the Usenet newsgroup comp.security.ssh or send mail to the gatewayed mailing list for ssh users at ssh@clinet.fi.

What does Connection refused mean?

SQUID Frequently Asked Questions: Troubleshooting
This is an error message, generated by your operating system, in response to a connect() system call. It happens when there is no server at the other end listening on the port number that we tried to connect to. Its quite easy to generate this error on your own. Simply telnet to a random, high numbered port: % telnet localhost 12345 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused It happens because there is no server listening for connections on port 12345.

Why does ssh hang on exit?

OpenSSH FAQ
I upgraded to OpenSSH 3.1 and X11 forwarding stopped working. Starting with OpenSSH 3.1, the sshd x11 forwarding server listens on localhost by default; see the sshd X11UseLocalhost option to revert to prior behaviour if your older X11 clients do not function with this configuration. In general, X11 clients using X11 R6 should work with the default setting. Some vendors, including HP, ship X11 clients with R6 and R5 libs, so some clients will work, and others will not work.

What does SSH protect against?

The Secure Shell (SSH) FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
IP spoofing, where a remote host sends out packets which pretend to come from another, trusted host. Ssh even protects against a spoofer on the local network, who can pretend he is your router to the outside. In other words, ssh never trusts the net; somebody hostile who has taken over the network can only force ssh to disconnect, but cannot decrypt or play back the traffic, or hijack the connection. The above only holds if you actually use encryption.

What does Network connection was refused by the server mean?

joinnet main
Some servers have limits on the number of people or request they can handle at a time. If you get this message, the server is probably too busy to handle one more user. When the server doesn't create its own message to handle this error, this generic message is displayed instead.

Why do I keep getting messages about connection refused?

FAQs about the website whois lookups
The website needs to connect to a remote server called a whois server. The connection that is being refused is the webserver connecting to that server. There are two reason why this happens. Some of these servers have a limit on how often you can connect to them. A small subset of these servers have stupidly low limits which this website easily trips. The other reason is that the remote server has died or crashed.

How do I configure an svn+ssh:// connection?

FAQ
If you are using the JavaHL or command-line client adapter then all communication with your repository is performed by the Subversion libraries. Consequently, the configuration is the same as what you would do for the Subversion command line. See: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07.html#svn-ch-7-sect-1 for more information. For Windows users, here is a great explanation of how to set this up from our mailing list archives: Configuring svn+ssh:// on Windows. of Subclipse 0.9.

How does the alternative loop syntax, e.g. while {...} {...} work?

Z-Shell Frequently-Asked Questions
Zsh provides an alternative to the traditional sh-like forms with do, while TEST; do COMMANDS; done allowing you to have the COMMANDS delimited with some other command structure, often {...}. The rules are quite complicated and in most scripts it is probably safer --- and certainly more compatible --- to stick with the sh-like rules. If you are wondering, the following is a rough guide. To make it work you must make sure the TEST itself is clearly delimited.

School Loop is a custom JAVA application written on a Mac. As such, it is not vulnerable to common PC-centric security flaws or off-the-shelf hacking tools. School Loop takes many other precautions that prevent misuse, most notably giving schools the tools they need to enact restrictive membership practices to meet their own security policies.

How secure is a DSL connection?

Alliance Communications - DSL FAQ
IMPORTANT: All Internet users should add firewalls to their computers to stop hackers from gaining access to their systems. No computer system is completely secure when connected to the Internet regardless of the access network in use. A few years ago, hackers generally ignored home and small office Internet users. This is no longer the case. As more individuals and businesses connect to the Internet, hackers are targeting home and small business users in ever-increasing numbers.

Why does SSH 2.3 have problems interoperating with OpenSSH 2.1.1?

OpenSSH FAQ
SSH 2.3 and earlier versions contain a flaw in their HMAC implementation. Their code was not supplying the full data block output from the digest, and instead always provided 128 bits. For longer digests, this caused SSH 2.3 to not interoperate with OpenSSH. OpenSSH 2.2.0 detects that SSH 2.3 has this flaw. Recent versions of SSH will have this bug fixed. Or you can add the following to SSH 2.3 sshd2_config.

What if I get a connection refused message?

FreeTDS Frequently Asked Questions
Try telnet <hostmachine> <port> and see if it's listening. You should get some form of response from the server (actual text varies by vendor & version). That will connect to the server, bypassing the freetds.conf file. If it doesn't work, the problem lies upstream. That will connect to the server using freetds.conf. This allows you to isolate freetds.conf mistakes. man tsql for more. Check your ./configure and environment variables.
