Oh, I see.  You can only log in at the console at the moment since I
doubt that telnet is enable.

IIRC, sshd should startup on boot.  Check the
/usr/local/sbin/sshd_config files to make sure that things like IP
address are correct.  Do a 'ps -elf | grep sshd' to make sure that it
is running.  If not, you can do '/usr/local/sbin/sshd' or there should
be a startup script in /etc/init.d called sshd.

If that doesn't work, since the machine is not accessible from the
outside, you can enable telnet.  Do a 'ps -elf | grep inet'.  If you
see xinetd you'll need to edit /etc/xinetd.d/telnet and make sure that
the it is enabled.  Also make sure that the server it points to exists.

If you see just inetd, edit the /etc/inetd.conf file.  Make sure the
telnet line is not commented out, i.e., remove the hash sign from in
front of it.
