When attempting to SSH into a remote Mac running 10.10.5, Terminal returned the following error:
ssh_exchange_identification; Connection closed by remote host
On the target machine we checked the Console log and found that during each SSH login attempt an error would appear in the log:
sshd: fatal: /var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable.
We changed the ownership on the /var/empty folder:
sudo chown -R root:staff /var/empty
And we were then able to SSH to the remote computer.
