Are you sure you are not trying to connect to httpd?

-bash-3.2$ ssh -p 80 -v brobding.mine.nu
OpenSSH_4.6, OpenSSL 0.9.7j 04 May 2006
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Connecting to brobding.mine.nu [62.194.34.244] port 80.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /home/floort/.ssh/identity type -1
debug1: identity file /home/floort/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
debug1: identity file /home/floort/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

This is a connection to my own httpd.
