[ale] sshd not responding

[Ben Phillips]

I can ftp to localhost.  I can telnet to localhost.  But when I start an
sshd, I can't ssh to localhost because all I get is:

Connection closed by foreign host.


Here is the sshd_config from /etc/ssh (and I'm even specifying -f
/etc/ssh/sshd_config to make sure it's finding the right file):
