glibc cvs vs sshd

[Neal H. Walfield]

> ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

In my experience this means that either the client is speaking version
2 of the ssh protocol and the server is speaking version 1 (and thus
the server is confused and drops the connection) or that the server is
cutting you off.  This could be because `ALL: PARANOID' is listed in
the server's `/etc/hosts.deny' file and your host name does not match
your ip address.  A lot of ISPs seem to have this problem.
