I assume that you're using a OpenSSH client and server .. sshd is closing the connection when your client tries to get the sshd banner (ssh protocol version, etc). Do you have a line in /etc/hosts.deny like: ALL: ALL - or - sshd: ALL ? If it is there, you might want to add sshd: somehost, somehost in /etc/hosts.allow man hosts.deny && man hosts.allow for more info about the syntax :) .. If the server is from SSH Communications, this is configured in the sshd_config file. (Last time I used that implementation). - G. -- =================================================================================== | Gu�mundur D.
