I installed opensolaris edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config PermitRootLogin yes # added this line to allow root login via ssh svcadm restart ssh
After doing the above I am still unable to login via ssh as root to the machine. Here is the output from ssh -vvvv root at opensolaris --- see attached text file ssverbose.txt *NOTE: I attempt to enter the password and it just asks me again as if it was incorrect even though I know it is the correct password. -We tried the following hoping it may fix it with no luck 1. edit /etc/default/login and played with CONSOLE setting no luck this is really just for telnet anyway 2. reset password to simple string to see if that could be it. Still no luck with simple password under 8 characters unable to login via ssh. We are still unable to login as root and do not seem to see a solution mentioned anywhere. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org -------------- next part -------------- ------ START OF ssh -vvv
