Hi,

I am having trouble getting ssh to work between two computers on a local
network.

nas800
New minimal default Daedalus netinstall with no DE, X or additional
software.

Will ssh to second computer without problem. Worked on first try.

aragog
Chimaera with openbox, no DE. Has been in use a couple years.

fred@aragog:~$ ssh -vvv nas800
OpenSSH_8.4p1 Debian-5+deb11u3, OpenSSL 1.1.1w 11 Sep 2023

fred@aragog:~$

It doesn't say why the connection is refused.

Best regards,
Fred
