Re: SSH key logins, and ftp login

2002-03-06 Thread Alexey Vyskubov
 I can not ftp into my machine for example. And if I login from a strange
 PC which key I do not have on my keyring, then I can't login to my PC! I
 can also not login to gdm/kdm. The only place I can login is on tty1
 etc.

Your problems for sure have no relations with ssh. Are you trying to
login as root?

No, as a user.

This is the situation: I can log into the local PC (tty1-6). I can also
startx after I've stopped kdm. If I create a new user, that user can log
in fine. I thought it was something with kdm, but I have the same
problem with proftp. Any user I create can ftp just fine, but I can't.
And I'm definitely using the right password. I'm stumped frankly.

Just noticed that the same thing is happening on another PC I installed.
I've created a user for myself, and I can't ssh in with that user. But
it's fine with another user on the PC?

So it must be something I install/use for my user, and I can't think
what it is.

SSH key logins, and ftp login

2002-03-04 Thread Danie Roux
Hi,

I've noticed that as soon as I start using ssh keys for an account
(generating a ssh2 key, copying public key to remote machine etc.), I can
not use the username/password authentication for certain services! 

I can not ftp into my machine for example. And if I login from a strange
PC which key I do not have on my keyring, then I can't login to my PC! I
can also not login to gdm/kdm. The only place I can login is on tty1
etc.

I'm guessing it has something to do with pam, but I'm very confused. 

Can someone help me use standard username/password logins when I want
too, and key-based authentication otherwise?
