Very Computer

I'm still having problems connecting to openssh (this time openssh-1.2.2p1).

I compiled it with:
/configure --prefix=/d2/usr2/local/openssh-1.2.2p1 --with-tcp-wrappers
--with-md5-passwords --with-ssl-dir=/d2/usr2/local/openssl-0.9.5

I tried with and without the option "--with-md5-passwords" (I'm not sure what
RedHat 6.1 needs).

The command:
ssh -l someuser -v localhost

gives in /var/log/messages

Mar 22 01:36:57 localhost sshd[13272]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.

/etc/pam.d/sshd:

#%PAM-1.0

session    required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so

Yes, I know, always read all available documentations..

Hope this helps.

The place to look is in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts. You need a line
line
127.0.0.1  localhost
in /etc/hosts
