I was having this same problem.  what caused mine was having 
ALL:PARANOID in hosts.allow and sshd:all in hosts.deny.  However, if this
is 
not your problem, permissions are probably the problem as Forrest
suggests.

A little googling provided a FAQ for SSH

It appears to be a TCP wrapper permissions problem.
