Remote SSH problem - connection closed by remote host

Hi everyone,
I have been reading every post that I could find about this particular
error message:
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
I'm working with an external client who wants to grab some files from
us via SFTP. I set up a Solaris 9 server with "ChrootSSH" from here:
http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net/index.php
I compiled it locally with the following options:
../configure --with-pam --disable-suid-ssh --without-rsh --with-
lastlog=/var/adm/lastlog --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/openssh --prefix=/
usr/local --without-privsep-user--without-privsep-path --without-prngd
--without-rand-helper --with-tcp-wrappers=/usr/sfw
OpenSSH has been configured with the following options:
User binaries: /usr/local/bin
System binaries: /usr/local/sbin
Configuration files: /usr/local/etc/openssh
Askpass program: /usr/local/libexec/ssh-askpass
Manual pages: /usr/local/share/man/manX
PID file: /var/run
Privilege separation chroot path: /var/empty
sshd default user PATH: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/
local/bin
(If PATH is set in /etc/default/login it will be used instead. If
used, ensure the path to scp is present, otherwise scp will not
work.)

I setup the chroot jail and it works fine from the local network and
from another external server running Debian 3.0.
However, from the client's test machine, they continually get the
following error:
$ ssh -vvv user@IP
Sun_SSH_1.1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be
trusted.

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
debug1: Calling cleanup 0x34214(0x0)
is due to missing entries in hosts.deny / hosts.allow. I put in aFrom what I've read, this error is usually caused by TCP wrappers and
hosts.allow file (no hosts.deny) with the following yet still no
connection. In sshd_config I also changed the "UseDNS" option to "NO"
sshd sshd1 sshd2 : ALL : ALLOW
ssh: ALL : ALLOW
They tried telnetting to port 22 and received the same error. I'm
still thinking that this might be a client side issue, but is there
anything else that you guys can think of that would be causing this?
Is there such a thing as SSH version mismatch since they're running
Sun SSH 1.1 and I'm running SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_4.5 ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
