ssh_exchange_identification: unprotected port

0

I wanna login a guest minix system resides inside VirtualBox through ssh and receive the error ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host.

After turn on the verbose flag, the complete output is:

OpenSSH_5.5p1 Debian-4ubuntu6, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

The /usr/bin/in.rshd is an ssh server on minix. I can't figure out what's going wrong. What may be the problem?

Are you completely, absolutely sure in.rshd is a SSH server? It seems that it is using the rsh protocol -- expecting connections from a privileged port, and returning a rsh error message instead of the SSH handshake. – user1686 – 2011-11-17T20:47:38.777

I don't think that's an ssh server you're connecting to. It appears to be an rsh server, rsh being a predecessor of ssh that didn't have ssh's encryption or strong authentication features.
