[TAG] ssh on debian

[SYNSPACE - Stephan Hostie]

Hi,

I installed OpenSSH on my debian sarge machine to secure outside 
connection (via putty, no root login).
But now, I cannot run some simple things that I should need.
One is MySQL scripts or Java programs remotely from another machine. To 
test what's happening (local php runs nice), i tried according to the 
MySQL book if 'telnet localhost 3306' is running. This only tells me, 
after a few seconds, that the connection was closed by the foreign host. 
A telnet on another port than 22 (i.e. 23) tells me The connection was 
refused.

How do I solve these problems? I looked for settings of OpenSSH and 
telnet, but didn't find anything appropriate.

Thanks
