Re: No username prompt SSHD No username prompt SSHD

[Pablo Cardoso]

asterix,     This is sure a newbie question (not dumb)! I don't know how to set sshd to prompt for a username but you can define the remote user in your command. Instead of issuing a command like "ssh remotemachine", you can use "ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]" to log on the remote machine as another user! Is this the answer you're looking for or do you really need to see a "type the username" prompt? ;) HTH!

I have sshd set up on my server, and all I want is just username/password authentication, but all I can seem to get when I log on from another computer is a password prompt. And it will only accept the root password (with PermitRootLogin yes, if set to no it will not work - and I don't want root to be able to log on). How to I get the username prompt?
