Hey all,
I have a bit of an odd problem, and would appreciate any suggestions you may
have. I'm running linux, using the 2.2.17 kernel, and I installed the portable
release (openssh-2.3.0p1.tar.gz) of OpenSSH. The installation went perfectly
well, and I had previously installed a recent version of OpenSSL.
I have no problem connecting to other boxes with the SSH client, but I can't
connect to my own box. sshd is running, I generated host keys, and ran
ssh-keygen on the account I'm trying to login as. When I try "ssh
[EMAIL PROTECTED]" it asks for [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password, which I
enter, but it says "Permission denied, please try again.". No matter how many
times I try, it never works.
When I try with the -v flag, everything looks fine, and it just says "debug:
Doing password authentication" before asking the password, there are no debug
messages after it denies permission.
I think I generated my keys correctly, and I can't really think where I went
wrong - is there a config option I need to set in order to allow remote logins?
I wouldn't be suprised if there's something simple that I missed, although I
did look over the archives for this list, and check the documentation, and
found nothing. I would be grateful if anyone could provide me with a solution
to this annoying problem.
Thanks,
