hmmm, I am having a similar problem. What does "Authenticated with partial success" mean? I installed three (they were installed here and then put in place at the beta sites within on Friday and Monday) beta servers in the past two days and two of them SSH fine but one is giving us grief. I can duplicate the error from here (posted below). Basically, the user is prompted for a password, they get the "Authenticated with partial success" message and they are prompted again, get the message again, they are prompted a third time, they get a slightly different message (no please try again) and they are returned to the prompt. This is a RH 7.2 installation that is pretty much "out of the box" using OpenSSH_2.9p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f.
userid@servername's password: Authenticated with partial success. Permission denied, please try again. Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure that we are getting the whole story (the server is up in the mountains a little over four hours away). This person who initially reported the problem could well have tried to generate a new key or something -- or maybe this server had this particular problem from the get go. I did see something about reverse looking failure causing a similar problem but since I can go to the same servers via SSH from other machines, I don't feel that is the issue. I think that it has something to do with the authentication methods. When I do ssh destinationserver -v from both the "bad" server and a "good" one, I the output appears to be the same up to bad server debug1: authentications that can continue: debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug1: try privkey: /root/.ssh/identity debug1: try privkey: /root/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: try privkey: /root/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: next auth method to try is password good server debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug1: try privkey: /root/.ssh/identity debug1: try privkey: /root/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: try privkey: /root/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: next auth method to try is password So maybe it has no authentication methods available?
