[CentOS] Access denied false positive
Hi there -- One of our servers is running the 5.3 32-bit release. When a user logs into the system via an SSH terminal connection, he first sees an Access denied message, and then gets a password prompt. He is able to enter the password, and log into the system without issue. It appears the error message is a false positive. A check of the messages and secure log files did not show anything apparent. What would cause this message to occur? The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed. If you believe this e-mail was sent to you in error and the e-mail contains patient information, please contact the Partners Compliance HelpLine at http://www.partners.org/complianceline . If the e-mail was sent to you in error but does not contain patient information, please contact the sender and properly dispose of the e-mail. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Access denied false positive
Hi there -- Thanks for everyone's replies. I do have putty 0.61, and I went ahead with Matt's suggestion. Once that was done, I logged into the server that was the subject of my posting, and the false positive did not appear. -Original Message- From: centos-boun...@centos.org [mailto:centos-boun...@centos.org] On Behalf Of Matt Iavarone Sent: Friday, July 22, 2011 10:00 AM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] Access denied false positive On Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 9:54 AM, Andy Holt centos-l...@orgdotuk.org.uk wrote: From: centos-boun...@centos.org [mailto:centos-boun...@centos.org] On Behalf Of Kaplan, Andrew H.

Working GSSAPI scares the willies out of windows users when they're not used to it. But it let me in without a password.

Remote accessing other machines and accessing files/email seem to be two different things. I'm not sure files and email necessarily give the sense of it being a remote resource in the same way. Remote Desktop on windows doesn't use kerberos does it? jh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
