troubles with open ssh 2.9.9

[UkrainianTire]

I seem to be having some trouble with my open ssh. I start up my ssh client and try to connect. It opens up a window but does not display the login prompt as usual. It sits there for about 2 seconds then disconnects.

I'm running mandrake 8.1, and yes the service is started.

Thanks.

At the command prompt, type:

ssh username@ipaddress

If you have SSH Tunneling availble, you can also setup XTERM. Like this:

ssh -f username@ipaddress xterm

That should work.

I think the problem is on my server box, when i do try to ssh into it, it gives the error: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host.

I've uninstalled 2.9.9 and tried 2.9 as well. Same result.
