I'm trying to access my G4 via my MBP with remote login. However I receive an error when I use the ssh command ssh [email protected]

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

I checked the logs and this is what it gave me:

Here's the sshd_config file:
# $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.68 2003/12/29 16:39:50 millert Exp $

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.

# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options change a
# default value.

Any suggestions? Your help is appreciated! Thanks!
