I've been trying for a while to use winswitch between several systems. First, trying to connect from OSX to a Linux workstation, but then from one Linux workstation to another (I'm running gentoo on both Linux boxes).
In each case, what I've found is that it looks like SSH isn't able to connect with the password, despite the fact that I can connect between systems using ssh at the command line (these are systems I connect to regularly, so I feel very confident I'm not mistyping the password). In particular, what I'm seeing in the logs are entries like: Aug 20 07:27:54 xxxxxx sshd[23276]: SSH: Server;Ltype: Version;Remote: 192.168.1.9-56825;Protocol: 2.0;Client: Twisted Aug 20 07:27:54 xxxxxx sshd[23276]: SSH: Server;Ltype: Kex;Remote: 192.168.1.9-56825;Enc: aes256-ctr;MAC: hmac-sha1;Comp: none [preauth] Aug 20 07:27:54 xxxxxx sshd[23276]: SSH: Server;Ltype: Authname;Remote: 192.168.1.9-56825;Name: shanew [preauth] Aug 20 07:27:54 xxxxxx sshd[23276]: Postponed keyboard-interactive for shanew from 192.168.1.9 port 56825 ssh2 [preauth] Aug 20 07:27:54 xxxxxx last message repeated 2 times Aug 20 07:27:54 xxxxxx sshd[23276]: Failed keyboard-interactive/pam for shanew from 192.168.1.9 port 56825 ssh2 Aug 20 07:27:54 xxxxxx sshd[23276]: Disconnecting: Too many authentication failures for shanew [preauth] I haven't tried using keys yet, but I get the impression that keys shouldn't be necessary to connect.
