Thanks John,

   Yes, syslog.conf points auth.debug to /var/log/messages. I have seen 
several different references to setting debug levels in the archives, 
but cannot get more than two lines of messages for a "refused connect" 
problem when using them. I see as well that this is a common problem, is 
this due to the multiplicity of versions?

I am using openssh 2.9p2. Here is that section of my sshd_config

# Logging
SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel DEBUG


The only messages I am getting are:
(Not a copy and paste...going on memory.)
....
[sshd] xxxx Listening on 0.0.0.0 (upon restart)
...
[sshd] xxxx forked child process xxxx
[sshd] xxxx refused connect from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Thanks,

Carl King
