Hi list,

seems I have a little problem there. On a SuSE 6.4 system (kernel 
2.2.19) that I am administering which is running mainly as a mailserver
(smtp & pop3) I recently updated libz by fetching the sources from
ftp.suse.com and doing a rpm -bb libz... and then rpm -Uhv libz...

Anyway, for remote administration I use ssh (latest version available 
for 6.4) and access is restricted via /etc/hosts.deny. Also protocol 
version 1 is disabled.

The next time (after I updated libz) I could not log in anymore, this
is what I get when I try to connect from any of the allowed IP addresses:

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Could it be that the newly installed libz is the reason? I have checked
with ldd /usr/sbin/sshd and it tells me on all my other systems
that its linked against /usr/lib/libz.so.1

So now the big question: can the libz update really be the reason or
is it more likely that I messed something else up that I can't remember?

Or in other words: do I have to drive ~ 550 kilometers to fix that
server or is there any other way to be able to log in again :-)

Thanks in advance for all your help!

 Erwin
