[SOLVED] install via SSH = brainfart

Hello all,

I've successfuly installed arch via SSH in the past, maybe 6 months ago.  I have now acquired a new machine at work and want to perform a remote install via SSH.  I followed the steps I used before:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=106611

when I try to install openssh via "pacman -S openssh"  on the system, I get an error saying openssh is not found in the sync db.

when I try to connect to the box via SSH, I get the following error:

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

any idea what I'm doing wrong, or what I've missed?

Instead of pacman -S openssh type pacman -Syy openssh

And if sshd doesn't accept the connection there most likely is a configuration error somewhere. I'd go over the wiki article again. Be sure to also check /etc/hosts.*

brainfart... when I first checked the hosts.deny, it was empty, but when I checked now, it was denying everything.

Thanx.

been a long week.
