Trying to log in to an Amazon EC2 instance running Ubuntu 10.04.1. I can log in just fine, no issues. A different user, coming from a different network just gets this:

OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to xxxx [xxxx] port 80.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /.ssh/identity type -1
debug1: identity file /.ssh/id_rsa type -1
debug1: identity file /.ssh/id_dsa type -1
debug1: loaded 3 keys

And then it hangs.

We've tried running sshd on port 22 and port 80

I'm guessing that it's not a firewall problem since the verbose output reports that the connection is established.

I don't see anything in /var/log/auth.log when the failing user connects. I do see entries when I log in successfully.
