Claudius, thank you for troubling with my problem. The problem, again: I have no trouble logging a client host (bro...@teufel) [you are not old enough to remember Fritz and Rainer] with a server host (hai...@engels) over the LAN, but not over the Internet, the client user account ([email protected]) to client user account ([email protected])
$ ssh -vv [email protected] ... debug1: Next authentication method: password [email protected]'s password: debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password Permission denied, please try again. I don't know if this means a file permission problem or if the password was unacceptable. The password I provided was definitely that of the account (haines) on the client machine (engels). Here is ~/.ssh/ssh_config on client: ForwardAgent yes X11Forwarding yes I did not edit the ssh_config files on client or server, and what follows are the defaults. Here is /etc/ssd/sshd_config file, via ssh, from server (I prune commented lines): # Package generated configuration file Port 22 Protocol 2 HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key UsePrivilegeSeparation yes KeyRegenerationInterval 3600 ServerKeyBits 768 SyslogFacility AUTH LogLevel INFO LoginGraceTime 120 PermitRootLogin yes StrictModes yes RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes IgnoreRhosts yes RhostsRSAAuthentication no HostbasedAuthentication no PermitEmptyPasswords no ChallengeResponseAuthentication no X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 PrintMotd no PrintLastLog yes TCPKeepAlive yes AcceptEnv LANG LC_* Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server UsePAM yes Here is /etc/ssh/sshd_config on client: # Package generated configuration file Port 22 Protocol 2 HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key UsePrivilegeSeparation yes KeyRegenerationInterval 3600 ServerKeyBits 768 SyslogFacility AUTH LogLevel INFO LoginGraceTime 120 PermitRootLogin yes StrictModes yes RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes IgnoreRhosts yes RhostsRSAAuthentication no HostbasedAuthentication no PermitEmptyPasswords no ChallengeResponseAuthentication no X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 PrintMotd no PrintLastLog yes TCPKeepAlive yes AcceptEnv LANG LC_* Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server UsePAM yes Haines -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
