[suse-security] OpenSSH

Hi List!

I have a problem with ssh. I reinstalled Suse 8.0 and I have a problem with
ssh'ing some computers (strangely some other work), which I did not have
before.

I always reveive a "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote
host", when ssh'ing certain machines.
 
Detailed information:
>ssh -v fuzzy.mcs.csuhayward.edu
OpenSSH_3.5p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090701f
debug1: Reading configuration data /usr/local/etc/ssh_config
debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted.
debug1: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to fuzzy.mcs.csuhayward.edu [134.154.14.232] port 22.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /home/gandalf/.ssh/identity type -1
debug1: identity file /home/gandalf/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
debug1: identity file /home/gandalf/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
debug1: Calling cleanup 0x80642f0(0x0)

I thought that the problem might be in /etc/hosts.allow/deny but they look
like:

/etc/hosts.allow:
ALL: ALL

/etc/hosts.deny:
(no entries)

As some ssh connections work. I thought, I might have the wrong version and so
I uninstalled the Suse rpms and compiled/installed the newest OpenSSL and
OpenSSH versions (3.5), the problem remains the same.

An ftp does not work either:
> ftp -v fuzzy.mcs.csuhayward.edu
Connected to fuzzy.mcs.csuhayward.edu.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.

This makes me think it might be a problem with the hosts-files but I can't
figure it out.

Does anyone know how to help me?

Thanks a lot,
Philipp Jenke
