It seems that this is the correct commandline. I just tested it and it works for me. Is there maybe a firewall in between? Otherwise can you test if there is a sshd running on the machine with pidof sshd? You can also try to access the ssh daemon from the machine itself with:
ssh grml@grml.local
which should ask for the password of the host.
I got it to work. Part of the problem was that I forgot abut having to press tab before typing in the cheat code. But another thing I was doing wrong is being too quick to try to log in. The ssh daemon doesn't start until about 5 seconds after the tone. Even after I was entering the cheat code correctly, I ran both an ssh command and an nmap before the daemon started.
I actually verified this... I can type 'ssh hostname', listen to it say "connection refused", and run nmap all in the time between the tone and when the daemon starts. Welll, I'm currently testing on an old Dell 280. So that might be part of the problem too.
