Re: ssh session from external machine

Check your /etc/hosts.allow that you don't have any restrictions there or 
at the least allow sshd connections from the IP of your firewall.  If there 
is nothing preventing the connection on the FreeBSD box, check your 
firewall's docs for configuring ssh access through the firewall.  It may 
need more than just port 22 forwarded.
