To get more information on why the server closes the connection, you'll need to run sshd in debug mode by stopping the listening copy and running it on the command line with the "-d" flag. You'll get diagnostic messages similar to what you got from "ssh -v", and one of them should indicate why the connection's being closed. HTH, Nalin
