Not TCP wrappers. Webmin uses a separate one login. I have the same experience from many clients. I deleted the keys on the host and recreated new ones. I then updated my client's key accordingly and I have the same experience. --Michael T. Bendorf-- Technology Administrator A-C Central C.U.S.

PAM = Pluggable Authentication Module and usually involves setting up the server to authenticate against other services and directories instead of locally. I can't imagine that's you're problem unless this server is authenticating with another server or service. Mike On Sep 21, 2010, at 12:30

TCP Wrappers is usually in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny if I remember correctly. If you don't see any rules listed there, it's not TCP wrappers. To set up a root password (when you have console access) you just: sudo passwd root and create a new password for the root user. You might

I have spent too much time over the past weeks trying to google an answer here. I cannot seem to ssh into a server that I used to be able to. I have Webmin control over the machine though. I have ran out of ideas to try. I could have console access, but that would require a 25-minute drive. In
