Open /etc/hosts.deny 2. Add a line that reads "sshd: 127.0.0.1" 3. Save and exit 4. 'service sshd restart' 5. 'ssh localhost' The document I linked to earlier says I should get the following message "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host". Instead I just get a new RSA key fingerprint message. Am I doing something wrong or is there another way to test it?
