No change. These are probably obvious, but... 1. Have you checked the remote machines' logs to see they don't like? 2. Are you sure that user's password is the same on all the machines? 3. Are you certain the passwords haven't expired (assuming you're using password aging)? 4. Are you sure that the remote machines are allowing password authentication (does /etc/ssh/sshd_config contain either "PasswordAuthentication yes" or have that line commented out since the default is "yes")? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - There are only 10 kinds of people in the world -- those who - - understand binary and those who don't - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
