It seems that users other than me are not able to login to the server. I use key nased authentication via putty and from other debian boxes fine but other users from putty (haven't tried other users from linux) fail with "No more authentication methods available".

Permission denied (publickey). carolyn@jupiter:~$ Carolyn is a newly created test account, nothing but "adduser carolyn" and "ssh-keygen -b4096" My key is 4096 bytes long, it works, default length keys didn't work so I thought i'd try the same key length. This box is newly updated from lenny to testing, although the package versions are identical (Version: 1:5.5p1-6) with another Squeeze box that works perfectly. I discovered this problem while trying to set up a sftp account for a Website designer, My accound can sftp perfectly. I can't think on what else to provide at the moment. Any assistance appreciated. Adrian -- 24x7x365 != 24x7x52 Stupid or bad maths? <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
