There are several parameters in /etc/ssh/sshd_config that can bite you
if improperly set. So many, in fact, that I'll just print you a list of
the most problematic sshd server settings and let you take it from there,
unless you want to trade sshd_config files in private. In particular,
look to see what the following attributes are set to (it's usually best
to accept the defaults, but some of these values can have great relevance
to and effect on your local security policies):
AllowGroups
AllowUsers
AuthorizedKeysFile
Compression
DenyGroups
DenyUsers
HostKey
PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt
StrictModes
Subsystem
VerifyReverseMapping
By the way, I (and many other users on the machine I run, some of them
brand noobies) have PuTTY working as an SSH client, so I doubt it's
anything in the client software.

Re: ssh access denied
I have the same problem on an Intel box. I installed RedHat Enterprise
server and I think I configured for medium or max security. Even after
disabling ipchains I can not login via ssh. But I could enable telnet.
My sshd.config was pristine pure and nothing blocking access!

Subject: ssh access denied
I can login in via ssh from a linux terminal using
ssh, but when I try loggin in using ssh from putty, I
get an access denied. Which paramenter in the
ssh.config file would affect this?
