    Only got a few replies, several of which mentioned permissions on files in
    /etc. It turns out that the problem was in the order of lines in
    /etc/rc.config. This particular box has multiple IPs/hostnames and the
    remote site was seeing the incorrect hostname and rejecting the connection.
