sshd problems

[DhoTjai]

Hello everybody,

I see alot of pids at "sshd" in Service Monitor. When I want to restart it, I get the following error:

An error has occurred

Details

/sbin/service sshd restart 2>&1

I also can not login the server using ssh, it will give me the following message:
"Connection refused".


How can I fix this problem?

With kind regards,

DhoTjai

When I enter ssh port = 22, I can connect to it but can not login.
"Server refused to start a shell/command" message will appear.

But didn't I changed port 22 to something else? 22 should not be working, anyways before this I had my ssh port on something else, for example 3145.
"Connection refused" message will appear on that port.


The strange thing is, 22 should not be working! I changed no root login allowed and 22 to something else (3145).


What could this be?

same problem here with a system

I reinstalled the system after making backups in DirectAdmin.

extor, contact me and I'll try to fix this problem without system reinstallation (for free).
