Hello there, 

I don't know if you still have this problem ... 
Sometimes it happens when one tries to do a ssh forwarding on some LAN
station but the firewall doesn't have the following line in 
/etc/hosts.allow:
ALL:sshd ALL

One needs this line because /etc/hosts.deny has the following entries:
ALL:ALL EXCEPT localhost:DENY

sincerely,
