ssh problem

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Greg:

Check your /etc/hosts.allow and your /etc/hosts.deny.

Hosts.allow is processed first, and a match there will proceed to login.
If there is no specification in hosts.allow, and hosts.deny is set to deny
all, you have your explanation. 

Of course, there can certainly be other explanations! <grin>
