VMware linux login using putty software

Set below steps in the linux machine of VM ware
1. Check ip`s and ports in my CentOS (VM Ware) and my PuTTY.

Result : no mistakes.

2. Check the state sshd in my CentOS (VM Ware):

[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/sshd status
sshd (pid 3940 3936) is running...
[root@localhost ~]#

Result : sshd is running.

3. Check the state a port on CentOs for connection through ssh:

[root@localhost ~]# netstat -a | grep ssh
tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN
[root@localhost ~]#

or

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/services | grep ssh
ssh 22/tcp # SSH Remote Login Protocol
ssh 22/udp # SSH Remote Login Protocol[root@localhost ~]# netstat -an | grep 22
tcp 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN
[root@localhost ~]#


Result: all is normal.

4. Check configuration my iptables:

[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/iptables -L -n
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
ACCEPT icmp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 icmp type 255
ACCEPT esp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
ACCEPT ah -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0
ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 224.0.0.251 udp dpt:5353
ACCEPT udp -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:631
ACCEPT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
REJECT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
[root@localhost ~]#

Result: God dammed!! No rule for port 22! -> port 22 - forbidden!

4. Add rule for port 22 to my iptables:
Just insert it line by means of your favourite editor
in /etc/sysconfig/iptables:-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

before:

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
COMMIT

Warning: your chaine name may be enother, because you have enother Linux. Curent chaine name you can see through /sbin/iptables -L -n (see above).

5. Check /etc/sysconfig/iptables:

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
-A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp --dport 5353 -d 224.0.0.251 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
COMMIT[root@localhost ~]#

6. Reboot you Linux and enjoy PuTTY [root@localhost ~]# reboot
