[mythtv-users] Please help me get X running again on PVR350 tvout

[Evan Burrows]

Is SSH enabled by default on an FC2 install or do I have to start it. 
I tried to connect from my apple powerbook to my myth box via SSH with
the following command:

$ ssh -l mythtv 192.168.0.101
ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.101 port 22: Connection refused

What do i need to do to get this connection to work?

thanks
