I'm trying to solve a puzzling problem. I can use putty on my WindowsXP

work to the box at home, it connects (according to the logs on both
sides) but doesn't give me a prompt, and eventually times out. Details:
debian box at work:
debian 3.0

ssh -V: OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4,

When I connect from putty, auth.log at home shows:

Hm get your DNS setup right or set "UseDNS no" in your
sshd_config. That should both solve the problem.
Donno the exact error mesage from the tcp_wrapper so check
/etc/hosts.deny aswell for a line like PARANOID:all or
PARANOID: ssh
