hi all,
i'm trying to connect to a friend's on-campus debian system. here are the
error messages that i'm getting from various types of machines:
from a debian testing linux box off-campus:
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
from a debian testing linux box on-campus:
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
from a SunOS/sparc system on-campus:
Disconnected; connection lost (Connection closed by remote host.).
here's debug output:
debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
debug1: identity file /home/p/.ssh/identity type -1
debug1: identity file /home/p/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
debug1: identity file /home/p/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
debug1: Calling cleanup 0x8062e7c(0x0)
i've telneted to port 22, and here's where the trouble begins:
satan# telnet (problematic machine) 22
Trying (problematic machine)...
Connected to (problematic machine).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
compare this with:
satan# telnet belial 22
Trying 169.237.43.86...
Connected to belial.ucdavis.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.9p2
i know that ssh can be built to use tcpwrappers, but suppose /etc/hosts.deny
isn't the problem. also, suppose sshd is running.
any guesses as to what could be causing this?
pete
