Check the ssh config in /etc/ssh/sshd.config and make sure: PasswordAuthentication yes
-----Original Message----- I'm going insane. I have a Red Hat AS 3.0 running under z/VM 5.1. I can ssh in from my Intel Linux fine. I can use putty to ssh from another Win2K box fine. On my laptop, however when I use putty, I get 'access denied'. I can't find any logging of the error whatsoever, either on the server or on the PC. It doesn't matter whether I'm trying to logon to root or another user. I can use the same putty on my laptop to five other Linux systems here with no problem. I've done the usual Googles on this, and there are dozens of instances of the same problem, but no one ever posts the solution. I hate it when that happens. Has anyone had the same problem? I promise to post the SOLUTION when I have one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
