As Hugo says that file is just a mapping of names to port numbers and won't
actually tell you what is running.
I'd try:
netstat -atn
and check for a tcp line with port 22 (:22) in LISTEN mode eg:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
which tells you sshd is running and listening on port 22.
Then:
ps -ef | grep sshd
just to check that sshd is running.
I might be teaching grandmother (or grandfather) here but I'd check the basics first.
Of course this assumes you have a connection to benden active but from your comments
you do have.
Good Luck
Kelly
