   Sorry for not being clear, I meant I did the exact same changes in the new   
   sshd_config in Mageia 3.0 as I have done in many older releases including   
   MD 2010 and not copying any config files from old release to new.   
   I usually run into initial problems with firewalls which tend to   
   always be enabled per default in many distributions, which prevents   
   smooth bring-ups of sshd, nfsd and sendmail. There were similar problems   
   even in the older MD distributions I have used.   
   I also always manually add a line "ALL: ALL" in /etc/hosts.allow,   
   which is normally empty after a fresh install.

   This looks like a bug to me. I'm going to try disabling shorewall:   
   systemctl status shorewall.service   
   systemctl stop shorewall.service   
   systemctl disable shorewall.service   
   systemctl status shorewall.service   
      
   Thanks
