OK, I promise not to ask too many more newbie type questions. But...
I've got Openssh all installed. I have the daemon running. I read the man
pages, FAQ, and went through all the config stuff in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
(where I put my config files.)
Now...when I try to log in with ssh, I get denied. (see results from my
/var/log/messages below)
I have not been able to see wherein the problem lies. I'm not sure it's a
PAM issue, since I don't have an sshd file in my /etc/pam.d directory. Is
this something that I need to add in order for passwords to be
authenticated? If so, what should it look like? Any ideas?
Again, my box is running redhat 6.2, kernel 2.2.16.
