The above is very strange...you shouldn't have any problems connecting
via ssh to a remote machine just because you run ssh on the firewall.  I
run ssh on all my Dachstein-CD boxes, and can ssh to either the firewall
or various remote hosts with no problems.

Can you really connect with exactly the same setup, excpet for
Dachstein-floppy instead of Dachstein-CD as your firewall?  With the
error you report, I'd suspect something more like:

- Remote server is refusing connections on port-22 (ssh)

- Remote server only accepts ssh-V2, and you're running ssh-V1

- Remote server configured to only allow connections authenticated by
public key

- Incorrect username/password embedded in some gui ssh client

...or similar issues, unless of course, you manually added some REDIRECT
rules to the ipchains ruleset or something :-)
