   Hi, slackers. I'm trying to configure a machine to allow ssh connections,   
   but I'm facing some problems. Let me describe what I have: I set up a   
   fresh Slackware64-current (15.0-rc1) install, without KDE and XFCE   
   packages. I configured shhd_config file to port 3333, which is the only   
   one opened at the facility where my server (let's call it server1) is   
   installed. Then, I tested the ssh inside local network, and it did worked.   
   When I did got home, I tried again, and I got "connection  timed out".   
      
   I thoughted that could be my router, so I asked a co-worker the credentials   
   from another machine (let's call it server2), with ssh configured, located   
   at the same facility, and it works fine (same port, same client).   
      
   My conclusions: It is not my router, it is not my client configuration, it   
   is not some firewall somewhere. It is, probably, server1's configuration.   
      
   Since local ssh connection worked, I did a ssh from server2 to server1, and   
   it worked. So, I copied the shhd_config file from server2 to server1, and   
   tried connect again directly to server1 with no sucess: still got   
   "connection timed out".   
      
   Aditional information: server2 is running Ubuntu; netstat shows the port   
   3333 listening to tcp and tcp6; iptables and hosts.deny are clean; I can't   
   ping any machine inside the facilty from outside; I can use telnet to touch   
   server2, but not server1 (connection time out again).   
      
   Most online tutorials work with 3 possibilities: wrong hosts, wrong port or   
   firewall restrictions. None of these seems to be the case.   
      
   What am I missing here?
