CANNOT SSH to my computer

[Ivan Georgiev]

Hi,

I am running RELEASE-5-3 and tried to ssh to my machine (sshd is running). It 
asks me 3 times for my password and then quits. The output is shown below. 
However, if I try "ssh localhost" instead of the ip address (I am using a DSL 
connection) everyting is OK.
