ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

[Jon Nathan]

hello,

i built an ssh 2.5.1p2 package for solaris.  it's installed into
/usr/local (with sysconfdir=/etc) on an administrative host with write
access to /usr/local.  other hosts nfs mount /usr/local.  i had a
script copy the following files generated from the package install 
into each host's /etc directory:

primes         ssh_prng_cmds  sshd_config    ssh_config     

then ran ssh-keygen (copied from the install target of the Makefile)
on each machine as well.  i can ssh from the administrative host that
actually has the package installed to other hosts, but i cannot ssh
from the clients with nfs mounted /usr/local and copied /etc files.

i don't see any errors in the logs on the remote host - anyone see
what i'm doing wrong?
