Hi all!
I was following this guide to install SVN, WebDAV and Trac on my new Ubuntu 9.10 clean install:http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_subversion_websvn

however, when i get to this:
$ mkdir ~/.ssh/
$ cd ~/.ssh/
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa(I press enter for all the questions asked in the above statement and go with the defaults)

faizan@acer-laptop:~/.ssh$ cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh faizan@acer-laptop "cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
ssh: connect to host acer-laptop port 22: Connection refused

Doesnt matter whether i try "ssh faizan@localhost" or*"ssh faizan@127.0.0.1", it gives me the same ssh connection error.
can you please guide me on how to fix ssh?? *btw... the "Firewall configuration" GUI from the System >> Administration menu tells me that the firewall is off (by default). not that that should trouble me from accessing "localhost" i assume.. :s

Thanks!!
Regards,Fez

I noticed that in the guide there is no mention that OpenSSH should be
installed, did you install OpenSSH?

What is the output of 'netstat -nlt' (run it without the quotes)?
