Could you please have a look at your syslogs on the remote side? It seems that the tcp-wrappers strike again. The old version in 7.0 wasn't compiled against the libwrap.a, which was part of the reason to release an update.
There's nothing in my syslogs on the server (/var/log/messages). Only sshd refusing the connection. Both hosts have SuSE 7.0 installed, the client running openssh-2.1.1p1-19 the server running openssh-2.3.0p1-0. On the server I also started harden_suse YES, so the ssh[d]_config files were changed. Then I configured it for my needs the same way it was before the update, allowing root login and setting listenaddress to the internal ethernet card. But it still doesn't work. ems@bingo:/home/ems # slogin -v 192.168.100.100 -l root SSH Version OpenSSH_2.1.1, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.
