[new bie] sshd: refused connect from 192.168.x.x


Hello there,

I try to establish a ssh connection between a Mandarake 9.1 server and w Windows client (Putty).

But each time I try to connect I got this error on the server side in /var/log/messages : sshd[pid]: refused connect from <clientIPAddress>.

I try a log of workaround like dealing with RSA keys but without success.

Note : the firewall is disabled.

Make sure you have the IP or netblock that should be allowed to connect in /etc/hosts.allow. It should be:
sshd: 192.168.0.nnn
or
sshd: 192.168.0.0/16
the above might not work (I can't remember if it accepts CIDR), so this should work
sshd: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0

Thank's,

/etc/hosts.allow was the problem.
