Hi,

I am want to set up my computer (i386 NetBSD3.0.1) so I can log on via ssh from a remote computer. I have a DHCP address so I have set up ddclient in conjunction with dyndns. this all seem to be ok, pinging my dyndns host address as reported by their 'CheckIP' service  works ok 

At the moment trying to log on from a remote computer  using the command 

'ssh -v mydyndnshostaddress' 

produces the following result

OpenSSH_3.9 NetBSD_Secure_Shell-20050213, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Connecting to mydyndnsaddress[mydyndnsaddress ] port 22.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/identity type -1
debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

/var/log/authlog reports the home machine is listening on port 22

but does not report any attempts to log in via ssh

uncommented lines in etc/ssh/sshd_config are as follows:

Port 22
Protocol 2,1
ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
UsePam yes

Nothing is uncommented in /etc/ssh/ssh_config

I have looked at the various man pages and various web pages,I suspect that my config files are set up far to minimally  but seem unable to find a clear answer to this hiccup. Any help will be most gratefully received.

Regards,


Alasdair
