ssh

[Mark Panen]

Hi

I am trying to ssh into a Mandrake box and get this error
"ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host"

My firewall settings seem to be right.

Try to use the -v ssh option, it gives debug information.

Multiple -v (i.e. -vv) gives more details.

Does the Mandrake box have a hosts.allow/hosts.deny setting that would 
prevent the connection?

It couldn't be a firewall issue since the error message doesn't state 
port 22... maybe your IP is in the hosts.deny file, as Pauls suggest?
