openSSH 4.3p2

[Ross Marshall]

I have compiled the latest version to test out, installed into /opt so
as not to break my old version, and have not been able to log in, I am
trying to ssh into the local machine...

rmarshall at Sam:/opt/bin$ ./ssh sam -v
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.7g 11 Apr 2005
debug1: Reading configuration data /opt/etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Connecting to sam [127.0.0.1] port 22.
debug1: Connection established.

debug1: identity file /home/rmarshall/.ssh/id_rsa type 1
debug1: identity file /home/rmarshall/.ssh/id_dsa type 2
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

My hosts.allow is:  ssh: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
I am allowing both protocols 1 and 2
Have generated the keys (I don't get any error messages when I start the
daemon).
When I do a:
