@ Kwame, My two words of CAPS were obivously frustration, not yelling. Sorry if you took it as yelling.
The problem was with my understanding of SSH. I thought that the TARGET machine (CAPS for emphasis) would be the one qualifying whether password could be used. But it's actually the CLIENT (CAPS for emphasis) machine that has to have the configuration to allow password usage. So I changed the config on my host and could ssh into the virtual machine. The guys at puppet labs helped me with that. BTW, anybody know a group out there for just getting help for the tutorial puppet vm? (I have another problem) Yes, i searched google and google groups. I also just wrote puppet labs about it also. On Wednesday, June 4, 2014 9:31:32 PM UTC-7, Dennis Gearon wrote: > > I'm running the centos puppet enterprise vm in Virtualbox on Ubuntu.
