The hosts.deny is empty. The hosts.allow already had an entry of the form: Ssh:123.456.789.0/255.255.255.0
Representing the correct segment of the Lan I'm trying to connect from. I added a new line representing the ip/subnet of the machine I'm currently on. I restarted sshd - no change: still no connection. I found tcpd, and used tcpdchk -v to check the rules: everything looked ok: the daemon was ssh, the client was my machine, the access was 'granted'. So still no joy!! mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 January 2007 00:07 To: Sanders Mark Cc:; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Can't connect to one server from a particular LAN On Thu, Jan 25, 2007 at 09:51:12AM -0000, Mark Sanders wrote: > Hi > I can't ssh to a server from any machine on one particular LAN - here's > the debug: > > OpenSSH_4.2p1 Debian-7ubuntu3.1, OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005 > debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config > debug1: Applying options for * > debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 > debug1: Connecting to salford.zen.co.uk [62.3.91.113] port 22. > debug1: Connection established. > debug1: identity file /home/mark/.ssh/identity type -1 > debug1: identity file /home/mark/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 > debug1: identity file /home/mark/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 > ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer > > I can connect to this server port 22 from a different LAN; I can also > telnet to the server from this LAN. > The debug is from an attempt from an Ubuntu box; I normally attempt to > connect from XP using putty, and get a 'Network error: software caused > connection abort' error. > > All suggestions gratefully received... > it looks to me like there is a hosts.allow or hosts.deny that is denying access from your box. > mark regards, J -- http://zoidtechnologies.com/ -- software that sucks less
