Can you ssh into that machine as regular user..?
Yes. I use it quite often $ ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Permission denied, please try again. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Last login: Sun Nov 9 00:08:54 2003 from localhost.localdomain
So clearly you need to uncomment the "#PermitRootLogin yes" line, don't you think..?
Does that not fix it..?
I tried on both PCs. It did not help.
Please see my previous posting which is repeated hereinunder
Hi Andrej, Stroller and others
Finally I discover the cause of the problem but still there are some minor problems remained unsolved.
PC1-RH9 box
==========
Recently I am testing Shorewall 1.4.7 on this box so that there are 2 firewalls, Shorewall and Iptables, running on the same box but without conflict. I have configured Shorewall 1.4.7 including IP masquerading leaving Iptables untouched as default firewall eversince the intallation of RH9.
After stopping Iptables # /etc/init.d/iptables stop
Then PC1-RH9 box, both as ROOT and USER, can connect both ROOT's and USER's X-server of PC2-Gentoo box.
PC2-Gentoo box
============
This box also has 2 NICs
eth0 connected to broadband via ADSL modem when it works as standalone workstation. At time of testing SSH there is no connection
eth1 connected to PC1-RH9 box
If I add 'adsl-start' in /etc/conf.d/local.start, this box can't connect X-server of PC1-RH9 box (however login to PC1-RH9 box being possible). I have to remove it from /etc/conf.d/local.start. In the recent test I added it to reconfirm this discovery.
Now another minor problem popup after removing 'adsl-start' at finish of the aforesaid reconfirmation. As ROOT PC1-Gentoo box can't connect X-server of PC1-RH9 box (login being possible)
# ssh -l root 192.168.0.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Last login: Sun Nov 9 16:53:10 2003 from 192.168.0.2
# konqueror Xlib: connection to "localhost:11.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key konqueror: cannot connect to X server localhost:11.0
# kedit Xlib: connection to "localhost:11.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key kedit: cannot connect to X server localhost:11.0
But as USER PC2-Gentoo box can connect X-server of PC1-RH9 box.
My new questions are;
1) How to configure Iptables so that it can coexist with Shorewall without affecting SSH
2) How to solve the remaining problem in PC2-Gentoo box as mentioned above
Thanks in advance.
