Rav,
  Look at your /etc/sshd_config file.  You must have
"PasswordAuthentication yes" and "RSAAuthentication no".

Good luck,

Subject: SSHD and logins


HI:

I have configured a SSHD on a NT4.0 member server running SP6. I've
configured sshd to start via SRVANY. I can see the service has started
and have verified that I can at least attempt a connetion via SecureCRT
on my client machine. I'm prompted to accept the keys however connection
fails at the password stage. I receive the message "Password
Authentication failed. 

I have SSHD running against the system account. I do have a service
account for SSHD however I wanted to get it working in a fairly vanilla
environement first. 

As I'm running SSHD on a non-domain controller I'd like to use the local
accounts for user authentication. I thought this was controlled via the
/etc/passwd file. However when I launch cygwin and then login and
attempt to login with the username and password I've set login fails.

I have also poured over the documentation and do not understand where I
should set the netsec variable. Please tell me what file this variable
needs to configured for.

Any help would be much appreciated.

thxs./rav
