Hello,

I'd like to access to my 9114-275 through an ssh connexion, but I obtain the message :

Code:

bash-3.1$ ssh 192.168.1.201
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

I tried to configure /etc/hosts.allow files in vain. And finaly the /etc/hosts.deny without any more success.
Here my files :

Code:

#
#/etc/hosts.allow
#

# <services>: <ip>
sshd1: 192.168.xxx.xxx

#End of file

and

Code:

#
#/etc/hosts.deny
#

ALL: ALL: DENY
sshd1: 192.168.xxx.xxx
#End of file

After each changes I restart the sshd deamon with a kill -HUP <pid> command.

What I doing wrong?

Oops sorry for that another newbie question.
I denied all by default and let unchanged the /etc/hosts.deny file

Code:

$ cat /etc/hosts.deny  
#
# /etc/hosts.deny
#

ALL: ALL: DENY
# End of file

and allow like that my client ssh in the /etc/hosts.allow

Code:

$ cat /etc/hosts.allow 
#
# /etc/hosts.allow
#

# <service>: <ip>
sshd: 192.168.1.110 : allow

# End of file

Note : I'd like find a head file like this
#
# /etc/hosts.allow
#

# <service>: <ip> :<allow>

But well, the man pages are my friends...
