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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
