When you telnet to any tcp port and you receive 'Connected to xxxx' followed by
an immediate Connection closed by foreign host, it almost always means
tcp_wrappers is blocking your connection.

FWIW - the 'Connected to' blurb means the 3-way TCP handshake was successful.

I thought the default install has tcp_wrappers "open".  Since it sounds like
it's not open, add the following line to the very top of /etc/hosts.allow to
effecctively disable tcp_wrappers:

ALL : ALL  : allow


As another test... do the following:

# telnet etaq3 22

Do you get an SSH banner immediately? eventually? never?
