Can't connect to sshd on new install

807557Mar 2 2006 — edited Mar 15 2006
Background: I just did a fresh install of Solaris 10 downloaded straight from sun.com. It's a sol10 sparc distro on an older e420r (UltraSPARC II's).

The install went fine. In fact, it was easier to get everything up and running installing from scratch then the 2 servers we ordered with Sol10 preinstalled.

I have one problem though. I cannot SSH into the machine. I cannot even SSH into the machine from itself (ssh localhost). No matter where I'm coming from, I get:
Connection closed by ###.###.###.###
I've checked the service, and it's running fine. I've tried restarting it numerous times, and nothing. Here's the service info:
# svcs -l ssh
fmri         svc:/network/ssh:default
name         SSH server
enabled      true
state        online
next_state   none

logfile      /var/svc/log/network-ssh:default.log

contract_id  155 
dependency   require_all/none svc:/system/filesystem/local (online)

dependency   require_all/none svc:/system/cryptosvc (online)
dependency   require_all/none svc:/system/utmp (online)
dependency   require_all/restart file://localhost/etc/ssh/sshd_config (online)
I tried it from a remote machine while running Ethereal and I see an SSH connection being made (I can see sshd reply back with "SSH-2.0-Sun_SSH_1.1"), so the port isn't being block by the firewall.

Am I missing something? Is there something like hosts.deny/host.allow (there are no hosts.allow/deny in /etc/) that I don't know about (I'm pretty green with Solaris)?
