SLES 11 on POWER no SSH

So you have installed SLES 11 on you POWER system, but for some odd reason you can't get ssh to the server to work.  You can ssh out and the deamon is up and running as you would expect and the IP tables is all empty, so what can the issue be.
In this case its the firewall -


# chkconfig --list SuSEfirewall2_setup
SuSEfirewall2_setup       0:off  1:off  2:off  3:on   4:on   5:on   6:off
# chkconfig --list SuSEfirewall2_init
SuSEfirewall2_init        0:off  1:off  2:off  3:on   4:on   5:on   6:off

So you can stop it as follows -

# chkconfig SuSEfirewall2_setup off
# chkconfig SuSEfirewall2_init off

Just make sure you perform the action in the order above else the command will fail as the two services are tided into each other.
