Thanks for replying! I've set up new keys; NX works great! :-)

So if I  was using NX/SSH to the non-standard port of 443, and if my
server box looked like this:

1. what address would I put in my SSH config to have it listen to OC?

config looks like this now:

#Port 22
Port 443

#AddressFamily any
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::
=======================================
so would it be, e.g.:

ListenAddress fd87:d87e:eb43:e20e:a09d:5e14:fabb:edf3

or perhaps:

ListenAddress fe80::2a0:ccff:fe7a:4574

or perhaps:

ListenAddress 0.0.0.0

or ???

Right you are.

I tried to connect out last night and couldn't get anywhere.  I tried
again today, and it works fine.

e.g.

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0


Thanks In Advance
