I have my very first ArchLinux up and mostly running, but even though its network (including sshd) appears to be running, I'm unable to ssh to it from another computer. I end up getting this error:
pablo@grandpaboy=> ssh 192.168.0.5
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
I have openssh installed on the target computer. Is there additional configuration required in order to connect remotely? Thanks in advance for the help.

you have to add your host to /etc/hosts.allow or comment out the line that deny that in /etc/hosts.deny

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

If the above does not do the trick, running ssh with the -v switch should shed a light on what's going wrong.

I'm 95 % sure that wonder is right, the op needs to add his host to the /etc/hosts.allow
The verbose switch will help diagnose it as B pointed out.

CPU-optimized Linux-ck packages @ Repo-ck • AUR packages • Zsh and other configs

I feel embarrassed that I didn't know this one - but it worked. Thanks!

I have just run into this exact same error, but do I have to add my host to my box's /etc/hosts.allow or the target computer's /etc/hosts.allow? (is a headless machine, grr...).

Add it to /etc/hosts.allow on the server (the one running sshd)

Okay, thanks sand_man
