I'm having problems making an ssh connection.  I get the message:
sshd[2064] log: Connection from xxx.xxx.121.35 port 1023
sshd[2064] fatal: Connection closed by remote host.

The machine I'm connecting from is behind a firewall, so I tried using
the '-P' option with ssh to use an unprivileged port, but I get the same
message.  I don't have any 'DenyHosts' in my /etc/sshd_config. 
Unfortunately, the remote machine uses syslog to log to a machine I
don't have access to, so I can't see any client-side error messages.

I _can_ telnet to port 22 that sshd is running on, so that makes me
think that the firewall isn't blocking the connection.

Anyone have any ideas?  (I'm out of them :-))

Thanks,
Tony Wells
