I'm using SuSE 7.0 Professional to build a firewall. I've installed the necessary packages, upgraded to latest release and after running "harden_suse yes" opensshd just refuses to accept connections, the following message appears on the logs:
Jan 27 15:53:32 maestro sshd[887]: refused connect from 192.168.0.100 (192.168.0.100)
Hello Bràulio ! The point with the updated ssh package is, that it is now linked against the tcpwrapper library. This means you have to allow the ssh connection explicitely in /etc/hosts.allow It should work if you put in a line like sshd: 192.168.0.100 There is also an option AllowHosts in /etc/sshd_conf. Look up the syntax with "man sshd". Good luck !
