Thus spake Micha Feigin: > When I try to connect to sshd on my computer from either outside, or > localhost I get the following error: > ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host > How do I solve this? Check in /etc/hosts.deny ...do you have ALL: PARANOID uncommented? If you do, and your machine does not reverse-resolve to the same name (i.e., foo.bar.com returns 10.3.5.7, but a lookup on 10.3.5.7 returns bar.foobar.com), then I believe sshd will exhibit behavior similar to what you're seeing. -- Nathan Poznick <poznick@conwaycorp.net> When a true genius appears in this world you may know him by the sign that the dunces are all in confederacy against him. - Jonathan Swift
