Hi,

I have a sveasoft box, and in order to ssh from the sveasoft to a target box, the target box must have PasswordAuthentication yes in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

I don't understand what that config option actually does. The config file has:

# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!

Does this mean you can send clear text passwords to login?
Does this mean that when you build a tunnel, passwords are sent clear text to the forwarded app?


The curious can read the SSH protocols here:

...which I've done.  I've been using SSH for years, but only understand
some parts of it vaguely.

....
Peace.
