Suddenly get "connection refused" by ssh?

It's been working for long now. Always fine. now I get connection refused even on localhost. I haven't really tried it since I (yesterday) updated the kernel to -8. How come?

[EDIT]
It would be nice with a "checklist" for a working ssh.

Re: Suddenly get "connection refused" by ssh?

I your sshd running? Is your /etc/hosts.allow still the same? Are you using a firewall?

Re: Suddenly get "connection refused" by ssh?

I've never been using a firewall. top tells me I have ssh agent running. I removed some probably unnecassary setting from hosts.allow after it stopped working. One (which I tried just to se if telnet worked) ALL: ALL, and something else that didn't matter. I still have sshd: ALL set so I don't understand what it could be. Should I maybie launch the ssh daemon at startup?

you need sshd running. /etc/rc.d/sshd restart
