Question openssh: ssh_exchange_identification
Ok, I tried to install an openssh server, following the steps as told in the mandrakeuser docs.

When I try to connect to my Linux box (Mandrake 8.1), I get the following error:

ssh_exchange_identification: read: no such file or directory

Any idea?

this happends the same in our box too. try this by playing with hosts.allow and hosts.deny.

hosts.allow:
# Allow All Local Traffic
ALL : LOCAL
# SSH Server Access
#sshd : ALL #uncomment to allowremote access

hosts.deny:
ALL: ALL

Try to configure as follow above. The read no such file or directory will stop and execute your Openssh at boot. Post back if this doesnt help.
