ssh error

I setup ssh on my arch box, but when I try to connect to it I get:

SSH_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

I followed the guide on the wiki so I'm not sure what is wrong.

Any ideas?

Re: ssh error

Are you sure your /etc/hosts.allow is right.  This was the cause of that error message for me...

Re: ssh error

yeah, I had the same problem too the first time i setup my ssh.
Add

sshd:ALL

to /etc/hosts.allow file

if you are behind router/firewall make sure to port forward port  nr 22 to your computer.
