unable to ssh out of centos4 server

[Rob Hausler]

Using the openssh-clients we are unable to ssh out of the server..

we just get a blank line after typing "ssh hostname" or even by "ssh ipaddress"

What is the status of your firewall?

service iptables status

Try stopping the firewall

service iptables stop

[Rob Hausler]

Have tried stopping iptables - no difference.
