I am trying to connect my mac terminal shell to a VirtualBox running the Musicbrainz server. I have configured the network through a BridgeAdapter and running ifconfig on both the host and the guest show corresponding IP addresses. I can now ping the guest, but I cannot connect through SSH. The verbose output from the SSH client on my mac states: (olaenv)hf-79-202:Python oclovhol$ ssh -vv [email protected] OpenSSH_5.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to 127.0.0.1 [127.0.0.1] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /Users/oclovhol/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /Users/oclovhol/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1 debug1: identity file /Users/oclovhol/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: identity file /Users/oclovhol/.ssh/id_dsa-cert type -1 ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
