Ok. Really. Enough. Y'all are just bitching at eachother about minutae
completely unrelated to the original poster's question. 

If I wanted to see people blathering on about points unrelated to the
topic at hand, I'd watch C-SPAN. If I wanted to relive old pointless
arguments, I'd watch C-SPAN2.

Skip posted a question about a lack of SSH connectivity between two
hosts. Two dozen unrelated responses resulted. Your signal-to-noise
ratio is rather pathetic.

So, Skip, back to your problem. Are both hosts on the same physical
network? Can they both get to the Internet? Can the hosts ping
eachother? Does anything show up in the ssh or kernel logs when you
attempt to SSH between the hosts? These are are good starting points.
