All,
I changed my password for my username on my Arch server (as you should do every so often). Now everything has gone to hell.
I changed the password accordingly in Thunderbird, but it cannot get mail.
I am not sure how password affect Thunderbird. Can you elaborate more?
I've restarted sshd, and I still cannot even connect:
debug3: ssh_connect_direct: entering debug1: Connecting to valkyrie [192.168.6.14] port 6661. debug3: set_sock_tos: set socket 3 IP_TOS 0x10 debug1: connect to address 192.168.6.14 port 6661: Connection refused
As Ralph already suggested in another reply, are you sure the sshd port listening on 6661? Common, default port should be 22.
Is there some other magic you must do now other than passwd?
For changing user password? No. But, for connecting to SSH server the recommended practice is using public-private keys. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SSH_keys for more information.
