can't ssh to remote FreeBSD machine

[Subhash Gopinath]

Hi,

Here's the debug o/p of ssh ('have replaced the IP address with a dummy one...)

-bash-2.05b$ ssh -vv root at A.B.C.D
OpenSSH_3.7.1p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for *
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to A.B.C.D [A.B.C.D] port 22.

And it stops at this point...But the machine is Up (since I can ping
it) and sshd is running on port 22

Thanks,
Subhash
