$ lynx /usr/doc/ssh/README.Debian.gz

Problem logging in because of TCP-Wrappers:
-------------------------------------------
ssh is compiled with support for tcp-wrappers. So if you can no longer
log into your system, please check that /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
are configured so that ssh is not blocked.

must want the answer badly enough if you are sending something to the
maintainer!
