Re: [SOLVED] Help please: how to enable SSH password authentication under FreeBSD 6.2? Solved - but not in an expected way

Hi again, Well as mentioned yesterday, I couldn't let this one go by without at least trying to figure out the real reason, so I experimented somewhat further. The issue of ssh1 vs. ssh2 appears to already be clarified, so I won't go into it again. Yes, indeed. I myself yesterday came to r

Hi again, I must ammend a technically incorrect thing that I wrote previously: Is this what you tried too, or did you use SSH2 (i.e. key authentication, instead of password authentication)? Both SSH1 and SSH2 can use password authentication, so I incorrectly wrote that "PuTTY does not fall b
