problem need help

[Guy McArthur]

I've installed the openss* rpm's from
metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/libc6/i386
on a redhat 6.2 system.

sshd is running but refuses all connections from all hosts including
localhost. The client reports debug: Connection established.
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
debug: Calling cleanup 0x8056160(0x0)                                          

I can't slogin as myself on localhost, can't login as root (even though
I've generated a key pair, and put it in root's .ssh/authorized_keys).

What gives?
