   I haven't been able to get sshd to work on the Mageia 3.0 set-up   
   I can connect locally on the same machine with ssh but from another   
   machine on the same LAN it looks like sshd on Mageia does not respond.   
   This exact same set-up and config files worked to connect to MD 2010   
   earlier. It seems that it does not even respond to "ping" so   
   I suspect it could be some firewall related blocking.   
      
   Is there a way to completely disable all firewall related blocking?   
   I tried from mcc Security disabling msec and Checking "Allow everything   
   to connect" under firewalls but after I exit mcc and restart it   
   looks like it does not retain that setting and it shows this option unchecked.   
   How do you truly get rid of any port blocking ?   
   Are there some config files to edit ?   
      
   I'm already running behind a firewall, running on a LAN.   
   The network works fine using it as a client, i.e. I can connect   
   to internet and ssh as client to other machines.   
      
   Another thing, is there any equivalence in Mageia to Madriva:   
   "service {process} start|stop|restart"   
   for example: "service network restart" ?   
   That used to be really convenient in Md when you edit various config files.   
      
   I'm a bit handicapped without sshd working since I need to physically   
   be at the machine to do any configuration. Any help would be   
   greatly appreciated.
