ssh: connect to host … port 22: Connection refused – UPDATE

As someone pointed out here another possibilty for these kind off error messages is that, if you’ve just changed the SSH port from 22 to something else for security, then there’s a good chance your firewall may be blocking the connection.

Redhat5/CentOS5 cetainly has a firewall enabled as default. Try ‘iptables –list’ to see if you’ve got iptables running
