netstat -a | awk /ssh/

You should see a result, if not something is borked up and we could figure out that problem later. If you do see a result then enter ifconfig and double check your IP address - make sure you're SSH'ing to the N900.

Nitdroid will not mess with ssh at all.

Also it's /etc/init.d/ssh (not sshd)
It's good to know it wasn't nitdroid specifically. Thank you for letting me know where pipe (and tilde) are both hiding.

it looked like you wanted me to type "netstat -a PIPE awk FWDSLASHsshFWDSLASH". When I did that, I got...

"netstat no kernel support for AF INET6" 3x (tcp) (udp) (raw)

Weird. It looks like it's complaining about me using IPV6, except I haven't actively done anything to enable it. But all you said was that I should see a "result" and I'd say that was a result sooooo....

entering ifconfig I see the IP address is the same one my ip widget is reporting.

I had configured ssh to use port 2222 when I set things up. I've tried connecting the ip on both 22 and 2222 and both time out.

edit: In case it's not clear, it's still not working, although I've confirmed the daemon is up and running.
