Hello!
I must admit I love the install-ssh option. It's great. Anyway,
here's the problem:
I have a Performa 6360 with YDL. In fact, I have 3 of them right now
as file servers. They all have SSH installed and were running fine. One
day, one of them began to refuse all connections. It would say "Connection
closed by foreign host".
With the "-v" verbose flag on, it would give me all the correct
responses up to "XXX.XXX.com: Connection Established" (The XXX would be my
local computer' host name) Right after this line, it gives me the
"Connection closed by foreign host" error.
I tried configuring the /etc/ssh files. But they are exactly the same
contents wise, have the same check sums, and sizes as my /etc/ssh files on
the other 2 functional computers. The sshd1 in /usr/bin and the files in
/usr/sbin are the same as well. Finally, the sshd daemon in
/etc/rc.d/init.d is also the same. Am I missing some files? (Config files?)
I have tried reinstalling ssh by:
a) stopping sshd and reinstalling ssh
b) stopping sshd and installing ssh manually by installing the
ssh___.rpm in /usr/src/RedHat/ppc/SRPMS
and the 4 ssh___.rpmin /usr/src/RedHat/ppc/RPMS
Before this problem occurred, I:
a) Put in an /etc/hosts.equiv file
b) Altered the /etc/hosts.allow and hosts.deny files
c) Commented out rlogin in inet.conf
That's about it.
Any ideas?
