This means that it is listening on port 3022, and you just haven't established 
a trusted key for 127.0.0.1 yet, this is normal if it is the first time you 
have tried to connect to 127.0.0.1. Just accept the key and you can log in. 

It looks like you may have port 3022 locally firewalled. ssh is listening on 
all interfaces, so the only reason you can't connect is because of firewall 
issues.

what is the content of "iptables -L"
Also look at the entries in "/etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow" ipwrapper 
may be blocking all and not allowing 3022.
