1.) The first problem is: you took an existing message and used
'Reply', instead of _really_ creating a new mail. That way
references to the message you "answered to" made their way into
headers and therefore MUAs capable of "real threading" showing
your message inside a message tree where it, for sure, does not
belong.
2.) You choose the wrong list. "Login errors" not related to a vchkpw
password checking aren't on-topic here, but belong to a linux
list.
3.) You did not write a single character about what connection you're
trying to establish. PuTTY is capable of at least four kinds of
connection:
- Raw IP
- Telnet
- RLogin
- SSH
At least 'telnet' and 'SSH' can be configured to deny remote root
login, so there are still two things we'd have to guess which one
might be the correct one. As my crystal ball is on repair chances
are low I choose the correct one. Therefore: if you're trying to
SSH into your machine: check your sshd.config for
'PermitRootLogin'. Keep is disabled, login as unprivileged user
and use 'su'.
If you're trying to 'telnet' into your machine: uninstall telnet
daemon, install SSH daemon, use SSH.
For any further advises on this topic I'd suggest you look around for
a general linux list, subscribe it and ask there, with a little bit
more of details about the circumstances ("Access denied" ain't really
helpful without _any_ other relevant information).
