Hi All, Thanks a lot for such a huge response, of course typing mistake, i was using DenyHost not DenyGhost; as suggested by david and others i did this, 1) Login, as root, to my Linux system containing the sshd server. 2) Edited the file, /etc/hosts.deny 3) Added the following: $ sshd: 127.0.0.1 4) Attempt to connect to the local sshd server: $ ssh localhost It conected, Also, ldd /usr/sbin/sshd did not list libwrap.so ; hence its confirmed that my ssh is a simple rpm shootout. Now, what next? i am not willing to compile openssh package is there any way out via rpm installation. Its a RHEL 3 box..
