When anyone or even myself locally tries to ssh into my mac-mini, it says connection closed by and then the local IP of my mini. Remote login is turned on and it used to work, but its a work computer so I don't remember exactly at what point ssh started not to work.

I did a ssh -vvv localhost and here's what I got...

OpenSSH_5.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0

I'm running OS X 10.4. Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
From the appearance of it, it appears you may be trying to use Kerberos to authenticate. What's your sshd_config look like?
