Are you trying to log in as root, remotely? How about a regular user, then
su to root?

Subject: [EUG-LUG:162] Can't SSH or telnet
Hi all--
Experiencing a problem with a RedHat - 6.2 machine
I cannot SSH into the machine from outside using OpenSSH-2.3.0p1
When I try, it asks for user password, yet won't accept the pw. I
have even reset the password, still no success.
As remote access is critical on this machine, I have also attempted
to telnet to this machine. I get "connection closed by foreign host"
I have checked /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf. Both are configured
properly. I double checked this against a machine that is working
properly. My hosts.deny contains "ALL EXCEPTin.telnetd:ALL"
Any ideas out there?
Woody
