I tried upgrading by running a copy of sshd on another port, since it's a remote server. The openssh package from unstable required dependencies so i didn't go through with the installation, leaving two instances of the server running on two ports with two sshd_config files (only the port differs). Both ports are open at the firewall and things seemed to be ok at work where i logged in from. When i came back home to fix the dependencies i got this nifty message on both ports: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host The solutions on the net don't seem to apply, as: - I doubt it's too many connections as i'm the only one connecting to the server, but i'll wait it out and see if they timeout. I must've logged off 2h ago already though. - I tried ssh-ing from another machine on another network but i get the same message. - I haven't touched the .allow/.deny files so i doubt that's it, unless the new package (i used dpkg -i) overwrote them. Since it had unmet dependencies, i assumed it did nothing. At least i'm not getting the OpenSSH version string anymore :) Any suggestions?
