Plesk VPS can't ssh into container.

Hi There,

I'm unable to SSH into my VPS container.

- I disabled the default plesk module based firewall, opened the necessary ports in the Virtuozzo firewall.

I've tried using putty, terminal, even the default java SSH client that is built into plesk + virtuozzo. No Luck.

Each client returns "Connection Refused" assuming that my VPS is locking me out.

I've even tried to enable SSH for my domain user, and still connection refused.

It's pretty important that I get root access to my own VPS. Is there any way I can get SSH to work?
 
vzctl into the VE and run
ps -ef | grep sshd
to check that sshd is actually running.
