Here is the situation: 1 - freebsd 6.1-RELEASE-p6 running sshd in standard config. my server is server1.domain.com. hosts.allow has not been touched nor has just about anything else...this is a standard install. I have tried sshd_config -> UseDNS yes and no to same effect, but otherwise its a default sshd_config. 2 - I _can_ connect to this server from a Windows XP machine with PuTTY (this client as all others I have tried are on separate networks from server1. 3 - I _cannot_ connect to server1 from OS X mac.domain.com or another freebsd 6.1 client server2.domain.com. These two clients are each on different networks but I get the same error: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer. 4 - My hosting provider has tried to help me debug this by connecting to server1 from several different clients on different networks...they have no problems from Linux and FreeBSD clients. 5 - Both OS X and other freebsd client (from item 3) have the same domain root as server1...i.e. domain.com If this is the heart of the problem I do not know what to do on server1 to tell it is ok to accept these connections...if its a security protection, seems like a useless one if sshd lets my unnamed DHCP assigned Windows XP client in. please help!!! ke han
