Running sshd -i -d -d -d give me:

This is OpenSSH_3.5p1


That's pretty seriously out of date. Try doing it twice in a row: if it doesn't happen the second time, the server is reverse-resolving the IP address of the connecting client, and your client doesn't have reverse DNS set up. This is preventable on the server by using the "sshd -u0", which prevents it from trying to log that reverse DNS name.


Nope, that doesn't help. And "host 66.166.198.124" comes back right away, so that isn't it.
