Solaris 11 : cannot ssh into the Solaris 11 server

Problem : cannot ssh into the Solaris 11 server

$ ssh id@$ip_solaris11
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Solution : vi /etc/hosts.allow, add the subnet or IP of the client and then restart inetd

vi /etc/hosts.allow and make sure the subnet or IP of the client is added to the sshd ALLOW section.

sshd:   x.x.x.x/255.255.255.0 \
        10.100.0.0/255.255.0.0 \
        x.x.x.x/255.255.255.0                       : ALLOW

Make sure sshd service is ON
 # svcs -a | grep ssh
online         Sep_02   svc:/network/ssh:default

Now restart inetd
# svcadm restart inetd
