I'm having troubles getting some PCs to accept their passwords, either directly to sign in, or over ssh from another machine, or both. I've even had a situation (more than once) where A would not let me ssh in from B -- but I could ssh from B to C, and from C to A. No matter how carefully I type, watching each finger onto the next key ; even if I type out the password on another tab (so that I can inspect it), then cut & paste; I still get this : [btth@localhost ~]$ ssh 192.168.1.123 btth@192.168.1.123's password: Permission denied, please try again. btth@192.168.1.123's password: Permission denied, please try again. btth@192.168.1.123's password: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password). [btth@localhost ~]$ Also my old Dell PowerEdge SC1420 (long since reconfigured to be a PC with two hard drives, not a server with one and a backup) does not let me ssh in with userid, but only as root. I've also tried a big hammer, revising a set of known hosts. Sometimes that does the job; but sometimes it does only this : [btth@localhost ~]$ nano .ssh/known_hosts [btth@localhost ~]$ ssh 192.168.1.123 The authenticity of host '192.168.1.123 (192.168.1.123)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is 36:2e:66:7e:e8:e9:96:ae:37:bd:99:da:38:5b:37:fb. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.123' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts. btth@192.168.1.123's password: Permission denied, please try again. .... and so on, till it locks me out for trying too many times. Fwiw, at one point I went out and bought a nice brand spanking new keyboard.
