 Which suggests that there is something about A you need to know more

I had already answered to this:

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2012-September/129092.html

If I use port 22 instead of the one sshd is listening on, I get a normal
telnet: connect to address ip-of-a: Connection refused

 Even if you need to do this remotely, you can use gparted through
  ssh with X11 forwarding.

Worked like a dream. Can't understand how I didn't think of looking 
for an rpm of gparted. I only ever used the live-cd version before. 
Thanks.

 If you consider resizing your RAID volumes one day, I'll recommend
  the already proposed solution: use LVM, with physical volume
  directly on the disk device. No partitionning. Why ? Because, as
  far as I known, parted developers has decided to remove the
  unmaintained/old code to resize ext* filesystems from parted.
 

The partition sizes required are fixed for their lifetime so LVM is not 
needed only adding complexity.

Tony
 I don't know about gdisk features. Perhaps, it can do better than
 parted...

Only one rule required.

You can either add

domain_read_all_domains_state(httpd_t)
or
domain_dontaudit_read_all_domains_state(httpd_t)

We are putting fixes in for this in Fedora and soon into RHEL, for the
upcoming openshift policy which also uses passenger.

 This looks like it should work for Client A, but maybe not for Client B (see

 Let me expand on this. There is no issue with a client on net1
 communicating with a client on net2; the host passes packets from one
 subnet to the other as it should. The only issue is when the client is a
 virtual machine on the host.

For those following along at home, the solution to this turned out to be 
related to the change in the function of the net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter
parameter in the CentOS 6 kernels; it had nothing to do with KVM. Changing 
the value of rp_filter from 1 to 2 resolved all issues.

 I'd say 4/5 seconds

This is possibly indicative of resource starvation at the remote end;
the connection is going into the listen queue, then being accepted but
the process then fails.  It might mean out of memory (for example)
so the server can't fork() the new sshd process.  If you mean 4 or 5s
then we might also be seeing swapping delays.

There _are_ other reasons for this type of behaviour (eg firewalls, network)
but that's the most common one that I've seen.

I assume the xxx here matches the port you tested with the telnet
test.  Otherwise the telnet test is useless.

As I said earlier in this thread that error can come from problems 
with the hosts.allow file on the machine you are trying to connect to.

I've just reproduced the error on my own systems.

Log in to tmlinux from thomond, everything ok.

edit the /etc/hosts.allow file on tmlinux  to disallow sshd access from 
thomond.

Log out.

Login to tmlinux from thomond. Error.
.
[root@thomond ~]# ssh -l root tmlinux.csis.ul.ie
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Since you changed your ISP you changed your IP address. If you had 
used the hosts.allow file to control access to ssh then that could be 
your problem. Same holds for telnet and any other network connection.

Tony

DRBL (http://drbl.sourceforge.net/) will do a 'fat' client that
NFS-mounts the server so you have the option of running things
locally.There is also the k12linux project that bundles LTSP5.
I'm not sure if the Centos port was ever completed, but there is some
information here:
