SOLVED freenas 11.1 ssh network error: connection refused (+ connection denied)

[devnullius]

I went to services --> SSH and I started the service and configured it to allow both root & password login with default port 22. Yet when I ssh to it, I get the following error:

Code:

connection denied

(like I gave a wrong password - I didn't).

At first I started with setting SSH to port 22000, but that gave the error:

Code:

 ssh network error: connection refused

. I also didn't get a login prompt (that's why I switched back to port 22). I disabled the auto-start at boot-up.

I know it's late & I should go to bed, but I think I'm doing all I'm supposed to do? At least when I used port 22, I got a certificate key to import, so that's good. I also enabled Link Aggregation, so I hope that ain't messing things up (I doubt it though).

Help? :)

Solution: click Services - SSH - Settings.

Click Advanced options. Now you can select a network device to bind ssh to... Sigh :)

Thanks all! ;p
