Tom,

        Your connection probably is being refused *before* the authentication step. Are you using tcpwrapper or any firewall on remote host ? Perhaps the rules were changed and are rejecting connections from your host. If you are using identd (RFC931) in tcpwrapper rules and the firewall is rejecting connections to port 113, you will get the same kind of error.

        Best regards,

Arthur
