Browse - computer tips - ssh exchange identification

Date: 2005Jun29

Q.  When trying to secure shell (ssh) from Linux I got this error:

	ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

What's it mean?

A.  We got it once when the host (ie computer running sshd) had our
IP-Address in /etc/hosts.deny.  There may be other causes.
What this info useful to you? You can donate to say thanks
