    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

    regards
