This can be an issue if tcpwrappers support was included in your RH8 box. It still looks like iptable is to blame. Looking at the output from the iptables, I dont see a rule permitting packets with a syn flag set to port 22 for ssh. (Background: this is take from examination of the "flags" section, and having an understanding of a tcp packet and the flags http://mike.passwall.com/networking/tcppacket.html ) Pulling from other mail: ---- 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:22 flags:0x16/0x02 ---- Could you try this: # iptables -t filter -D INPUT 1 -p tcp -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 192.168.0.3\ --destination-port 22 -j ACCEPT (If the line sould wrap, the "\" at the end of the first should permit you to paste it into a shell and then just press return.) Then try to ssh to the box from one of the others. (This is just a test, not a permanant fix. It inserts a rule at the top of the list to allow all IP from your private net 192.168.0.[0-255] to connect with tcp to that machine's port 22.) If you can ssh to the box. Then we can proceed from here and try to make the "fix" a permanent one. If you cannot, then it would be a good idea to remove that rule we just inserted: # iptables -t filter -D INPUT 1 When you ssh from the other box to this one, please give it some time to connect. Often ssh is configured to perform rDNS for each incoming connection. When this is the case, and your ssh server is behind a private network, it may take some time for the rDNS to fail before the ssh is permitted to pass through. >> /etc/hosts.deny > > empty.
