I am trying to help a colleague connect locally to a linux machine (I believe Debian), which uses TCP wrapper for security.
I ssh’d onto the computer and tried to give him access by clearing the contents of /etc/hosts.allow, but failed to make any changes to /etc/hosts.deny. Unfortunately, there were some un-commented-out lines in the /etc/hosts.deny file, but I don’t remember what they were. I.e., the file was not empty
As a result, I can no longer ssh onto it, but get this error:
ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
He tried ssh-ing onto eth1 (local IP), but this also wasn’t successful:
resource temporarily unavailable
So… now we’re both locked out. How can I access this computer? Or how can I instruct him to access it?
Thanks!
