The error is:

    ssh: connect to host Loki port 22: Connection refused

Like Nathan I can ssh from this machine to others, but not to this 
machine. I added:

    ListenAddress  my_ip_address

to the bottom of  /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restarted the sshd service 
via

    sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart

Afterwards my /var/log/messages says it's now listening on 
my_ip_address port 22 but I still can't connect.
