Ok, this looks like it may be tcpwrappers. Do you have anything (other
than comments) in your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files?
Also, on the Linux box, cd to /var/log and run the command:
tail -f messages
While that's operating, try your ssh connection again.
With luck you will see illuminating messages appear.
Other checks: is ssh active?
Try saying:
netstat -an | grep 22
Near the top of the result should be a line like this:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
indicating that there is a service listening on port 22 (ssh).
If not, your ssh damon isn't running.
If there is, check that there's ssh there by saying:
telnet localhost 22
You should get a response like this:
[~]amadeus*> telnet localhost 22
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.1p1
Type ctrl-] and then "quit" to get out. If it closes immediately, suspect
tcpwrappers.
