How amazing! I've now been using my little Dell with Ubuntu exclusively for many months, and I haven't realised until now that it didn't have the ssh server installed!
I used the client to connect out to various boxes all over the place, but clearly never tried to connect into it. Until now. Just tried from my HP-UX machine - failed. Once penny dropped what the reason for the "connection on port 22 refused" message was, quickly run the command to install it:
# sudo apt-get install openssh-server
only to realise, quite a while later, that it hang.
Of course! I'm sitting behind the classroom proxy, and although I configured Firefox, any application outside of it won't know. I could set a system wide parameter, but I settled for:
# export http_proxy=http://10.175.20.1:8080/
Run the apt-get again, and I'm in sshd business.

That's a good thing! Especially as Ubuntu is primarily a desktop distribution. Always better to have as few daemons as possible running and only add more when needed.
Valid point !
