Re: ssh_exchange_identification error
Date: Thu Dec 05 2002 - 09:00:53 EST
Tom,
I'm guesing it's a dns reverse lookup problem. I've had this issue in the past.
Have someone look into the hosts.deny (/etc/hosts.deny) and see if there is a line:
ALL: PARANOID in that file.
The PARANOID wildcard matches any host whose name does not match its address.
A temporary fix would be just commenting out this line.
#ALL: PARANOID
The permanent fix:
With the PARANOID wildcard, if your ssh-ing from foo.hostname.com with ip
111.111.111.111 the recieving host does a reverse lookup on 111.111.111.111
to see if it matches. If the recieving host does a lookup
on 111.111.111.111 and gets back bar.hostname.com you will get a message
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
To test this theory you need access to that box (ie. temporary fix) then run:
host sending.host.ip.address
and make sure the name that comes back matches that of the system your sending from.
If not fix your DNS entries.
Hope this helps...
