SSH not working for particular user
Besides the AllowUsers parameter in sshd_config is there is anything else that would allow certain users, but not others to ssh to a machine? Have a machine that one id can connect to, but not a second one.. I inherited the setup (about 20 machines) so don't know yet what setups each machine has yet. Have an ID I was given to login, but now going to each machine to create my own ID. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Perhaps the uid in question has an invalid shell? That doesn't seem to be the problem either. From the user I was able to login I did su to my ID and that worked. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(Solved) SSH not working for particular user
For the archives. Found the problem the rights for the .ssh directory were wrong. They need to be 700. Given that I used adduser to create that account I think umask or something else for the root user may be wrong or perhaps the adduser script. The other point worth mentioning for anyone having a simmilar problem (ie some IDs connect, but others don't) is a file /etc/login.access. Settings in that file may allow some users to connect, but not others. Obviously by the same token /etc/login.conf could also be an issue, but a less common one (ie the user has some type of time restriction). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
