RE: [cobalt-users] Cant login using SSH

Somehow you blocked your access to the server,  Login from another ISP or 
dial-up account then open the /etc/hosts.deny file and see if your ISP IP or 
hostname is there.

Do have PortSentry or IPChains Installed??
Have you done any port scan on your server from your Internet Connection?
Can you check your email (pop3) to the server or FTP?

Connection refused means that your ISP IP address is not allowed to access 
services on your server such as Telnet, FTP, SSH, POP3.

BTW I tried to access your server SSH from here and I was prompted for 
user/password.  I did not get the connection refused which means that it is 
access blocking problem.
