ssh

[Eduardo Viruena Silva]

Hello FreeBSD gurus!

I have a question for you.

I have two computers, both of them running FreeBSD 2.5.1-RELEASE.
Let us call them A and B.

Computer A receives ssh connections from computers running
Linux, Solaris and even Windows; it also receives connections
from FreeBSD 4.x and 5.1  but it does not receive
ssh connections from B.

A ask for password and then it takes a long time to say
"Operation timmed out"
"Connection to A closed".

Enabling "sshd" in rc.d or using it from inetd makes no difference.

Strange, isn't it?

Hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance:

PD.  Here you will find what "ssh -v A" dislays:
