I am very very sorry for not having found this problem before. I just reported a problem I was having in ssh_exchange_identification() function... My fault: I didn't look hard enough in the archives. Turns out that my problem was fixed by adding a line to my hosts.allow file. Again, I'm sorry I didn't research the archives long enough to find the fix myself. :Paul Tiemann
