You could also run a tcpdump (or Wireshark) on port 22 of the machine you're trying to connect to in order to get a trace. The most common things I've found is that you aren't permitting the authentication method you're trying to use in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. By default, you should be allowed to log in via a username and password. In the sshd_config file, the line is PasswordAuthentication yes Note that if it's not in the sshd_config file, it's enabled. However, I've seen a lot of systems where the "PasswordAuthentication no" is set which would require one of the other authentication methods available to be used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - We look for things.
