SSH Connection Attempt Hangs

[Jay Ridgley]

Good Morning Y'all,

I just finished converting my firewall(two NICs) to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, 
with the latest updates. I am pleased with the results except ---

I can do SSH from the firewall(mateo) to any of my local systems, 
however, when I attempt to go from a local system(polar) to my firewall 
it hangs and NEVER asks for the users password. Ideas?

jay at mateo ~$ ssh polar <--- works
jay at polar ~$ ssh mateo <--- HANGS

I am also using firestarter... prior to installing firestarter if I 
tried to get from polar to mateo the connection was refused. Why the 
change?

NOTE: Prior to converting the firewall system to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS from 
RedHat 7.2 I had no problem with SSH. But, I was not pleased with the 
overall setup and RH 7.2 is a bit long in the tooth!


Thanks,
Jay
