I'm having trouble trying to SSH to my Debian 5 VPS with blacknight.
It was working fine until I did the following:
Logged into 'Parallels Infrastructure Manager' - Container - Firewall - Set to 'Normal Firewall settings'.
It told me there was an error with the IPTables and offered the option again with a checkbox to 'reset' firewall settings, I selected this.
I can see that that the default rules are been applied ( anything from anyone on any port and allowing anything to happen).
Whenever I attempt to SSH I get the following debug info:
thomas@localmachine:~/.ssh$ ssh -v thomas@hostname

I had my public/private RSA keys set up and working fine before I reset the firewall settings.
I had also made the following changes to my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on the VPS:
PermitRootLogin no
PasswordAuthentication no
X11Forwarding no
UsePAM no
UseDNS no
AllowUsers

Could it be something to do with the SSH server & client having different versions between my local machine and VPS?
Any help appreciated.
