If it's connecting and then dumping you out, then it sounds like possibly TCP
Wrappers is booting you out.

Have you checked hosts.allow and hosts.deny?

The SSH protocol is sshd in hosts.{allow, deny}. I.E.:

(this denies everything from everywhere, except ssh and ftp, which are allowed
from everywhere):

hosts.allow
-----------
sshd, in.ftpd: ALL

hosts.deny
----------
ALL: ALL: \
twist /bin/echo "---> Insecure connection not allowed. <---"
