This is a third of CONTROLLER-530 which I was told by Devin Avery to split.

Steps to recreate:

1. Starting with a fresh Fedora 20 Cloud VM on an OpenStack deployment with an IP I can reach
   sudo yum update -y
   sudo yum install -y java-1.7.0-openjdk unzip wget which
   wget -P /home/fedora 'https://jenkins.opendaylight.org/integration/job/integration-project-centralized-integration/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/distributions/base/target/distributions-base-0.1.2-SNAPSHOT-osgipackage.zip'
   unzip distributions-base-0.1.2-SNAPSHOT-osgipackage.zip
   cd /home/fedora/opendaylight
   ./run.sh

1. From another machine, in my case a second fresh Fedora 20 VM on an OpenStack deployment:
   sudo yum update -y
   sudo yum install -y nmap
   nmap -Pn -p 1830 172.18.14.10 # IP of first VM

That nmap scan of port 1830 results in the following exception on the first VM (running ODL):

Here's the nmap output from the scan:

[fedora@dfarrell-opendaylight-bug1124-2 ~]$ nmap -Pn -p 1830 172.18.14.10

Starting Nmap 6.45 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-06-09 21:46 UTC

I filed this under controller/netconf because the log message and a line of the stack trace come from controller/opendaylight/netconf/netconf-ssh/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/controller/netconf/ssh/threads/Handshaker.java. I'm not confident about this classification. If it should be moved, please let me know and forgive my ignorance.
