ssh is refusing connections
I've been running my server for 89 days now, on potato for the whole time. It's been quite stable and happy for a while now. However, without an update to either the server or my portable machine, ssh began refusing connections all of a sudden. 'Garrison' is the machine's local name, as listed in my /etc/hosts. Here's what's happening: $ ssh garrison secure connection to garrison refused $ Earlier in the day, this worked fine. I then ssh'd over to a friend's server, and can ssh from there to my server. Any help or ideas?

I had the same problem recently too, and it disapeared by installing a new sshd on my machine (1.2.3 2.x.x).

Re: ssh is refusing connections
Did you by chance reinstall ssh on the machine you're connecting from or do anything to change its key? If something happenned to that box's key, then the box you're trying to connect to sees that that box has a different key and denies you from the get-go. It's for anti-IP-spoofing. Try ssh-ing from the server to your portable. If the key has changed, you will get an error message. Find out where ssh holds its key database (can't remember right off the top of my head) and kill off the entry for that machine. It should work then. --Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, Oct 30, 2000 at 09:21:34PM +0100, Andre Berger wrote: Aaron Brashears [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've been running my server for 89 days now, on potato for the whole time.

Worse, I'm sitting in front of three idiot consultants from Razorfish who spend the whole time talking loudly and incessantly. Remarkably, not one word of it resembled any productive activity in the slightest. 'So, I conducted a series of group discussion sessions to quantify how they establish their procedures.' 'But, Bianca, how did you formulate the framework for evaluating their paradigms?' My favorite line - Bianca is irate because a client asked her for some concrete bit of information: 'Can you believe that? Hello?
