Thank you Rajesh and Austin.
My rather baroque ipchains setup was blocking port 22. The telnet myhost
22 check was exactly the tool i needed to determine that this was indeed
the problem. I looked at my rules and thought 22 should be getting
through, but ssh -v could not tell me whether that was the problem or
not.
Time to switch to iptables! thanks again for the quick responses.
