Re: [Nolug] ports

The port may be open, but it may or may not be passed through your
firewall. netstat -an | grep 22 will tell you if sshd is running
and LISTENing on the port. But it can't tell you how your firewall is
set up. as root, '/sbin/iptables -L' should list your firewall
ruleset. Post that here.

Also, you really shouldn't need to open the ports for VNC (6500 I believe).
Rather, you can tunnel VNC through SSH which is quite a bit safer from
a security standpoint.
