I'm upgrading my systems from Slackware-10.2 to Slackware-11.0 and have
come across a ssh/scp error that I cannot resolve.
The network has one server/workstation (running Slackware-11.0 with a
2.6.19.2 kernel), one notebook (running Slackware-11.0 with a 2.6.18.6
kernel), and one laptop (running Slackware-10.2 with a 2.4.31 kernel).
The desktop (server/workstation) can ssh/scp to both portables.
Permissions are correct (0700 for ~/.ssh and 0600 for the files in that
directory) on all machines.
The two portables can ssh/scp between themselves.
Neither portable can ssh/scp to the desktop. The error is
"ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host." Invoking
ssh with the '-vv' option does not provide me with any greater insight:
OpenSSH_4.4p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8d 28 Sep 2006

debug1: identity file /home/rshepard/.ssh/id_dsa type 2

Google reveals others having this problem in the past, but nothing I saw
helped me.
I'd greatly appreciate some insight.
