I am having a strange problem connecting from the WAN to my Bering box using ssh.
I say strange because if I shut down sshd and then restart it manually by entering "sshd" at the command prompt, all works fine. If I use the init.d script or use /usr/sbin/sshd to start the server, then WAN connections fail due to tcp wrapper connection refusals. The above failures disappear if I remove ALL : ALL from hosts.deny. I have sshd : ALL in hosts.allow. Any ideas? >From var/log/debug: Feb 23 20:31:10 ARH-1 /usr/sbin/sshd[7691]: debug1: Forked child 9090.
