How would I determine the answer to that question? == Eric Cope wrote: > sounds like ssh isn't accessible on 73. Is that true? I replied: I guess that must be true. How can I fix that? 'sshd_config' is identical on 73 and on 68 and ssh and scp both work on 68 but neither work on 73. The contents of sshd_config can be viewed at this link: http://www.upquick.com/linux/temp/sshd_config73 == craig white wrote: > check the system logs (secure & messages) on '73' > and you should find your answer.

I've uploaded those two logs (secure & messages) here: http://www.upquick.com/linux/temp/secure73 http://www.upquick.com/linux/temp/messages73 == kitepilot wrote: > Go to a terminal on 192.168.0.73, login as "joe" and do: > ssh localhost > And tell me what happens. > And, (as someone said) look at /var/logs/auth.log (or equivalent) > on 192.168.0.73 and look for "joe": > grep joe /var/logs/auth.log When I try: ssh localhost on '73' this is the result: joe@192.168.0.73's password: (I entered the correct user password) Permission denied, please try again. joe@192.168.0.73's password: (I entered the correct root password) Permission denied, please try again. joe@192.168.0.73's password: (I tried just pressing "Enter") Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). I've uploaded /var/log/auth.log and the grep joe result here: http://www.upquick.com/linux/temp/auth.log73 -- (10,000 entries) http://www.upquick.com/linux/temp/auth.log73.joe -- (16 entries) I also tried changing the user password on 73 and the system responded that the several passwords that I tried to enter were not acceptable (too short, not enough different characters, etc.) When I do 'ssh localhost' on '68' it asks for a password and accepts the same password that I have set on both '68' and '73' --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
