Hi Bernhard,

Please provide the Chapter and section you are working on, or the lab.

The error message "ssh: connect to the host localhost port 22: Connection refused" indicates that the ssh service is not running, or is not running on port 22.

You can check the status of the service with the following command:

sudo systemctl status ssh

If it's not running but it's installed, you can start it by doing:

sudo systemctl start ssh

Regards,
Luis.

Hi Luis,

also that is now clear and the task accomplished.

It was the Chapter 04. User Account Management, the Demo: Creating, Modifying, and Removing a New User Account Video which i tried to redo.

Again thank you very much
