Probably not an auth thing from a pam.d standpoint anyway. In debugging ssh issues I usually start by using ssh -v machinename If that does not help you can run sshd in debug mode on the server using as root, service sshd stop # stops the ssh server sshd -d # keeps the session open and printing to the screen Then connect from the client and a lot of stuff spits out in the term you ran sshd -d in. should give you a clue. don't forget to restart it service sshd start A couple of things to look at: are you logging in as root? in /etc/ssh/sshd_config look for the line similar to PermitRootLogin yes and set accordingly also in the same file are you allowing password authentication? PasswordAuthentication yes HTH Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
