It's a bit annoying that KPackage throws an error instead of providing an informational response, eg, "Access denied. Configure sshd on this machine to allow root access via SSH protocol". > Look at the sshd.conf file and comment out the line preventing root > ssh access. I can see /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I set PermitRootLogin to 'yes' and uncommented it. then /etc/rc.d/sshd stop /etc/rc.d/sshd start no luck - same error message. Rebooting the machine is the same - no luck. > > Or check to see that the daemon is listening on port 22. Same file. top of the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config has: #Port 22 #Protocol 2 #AddressFamily any #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 #ListenAddress :: Nothing in the same file about ports, so it should be picking up 22 as default. malcolm ___________________________________________________ .
