Hi!

We are using Putty to log into our FreeBSD 4.10 Samba Server for
administration.

Recently this doesn't work any more:
We can type in our login names, but there won't be any password
prompt.
Even locally from the server's terminal itself nothing happens.

Everything else (pinging the machine, Samba service) works fine.

What can be done?

Look at what changed between the time it worked and when it stopped working and change that back.
Nothing.


Unfortunately, there is almost no information in your email that can actually be used to diagnose the problem.
Sorry, I don't know what I might have to look for.
I tried # man ssh but couldn't find anything about log files or so.


Have you ensured that it doesn't work from other locations?
Yes, I tried three machines on our lan and the server itself.

Perhaps
you putty installation got corrupted, or maybe an intervening ISP
suddenly decided to block ssh.  Do an nmap scan to see if ssh is
being filtered.  Try logging in from a closer server to see if the
sshd on the server is still working.  At least narrow it down to
whether putty, the sshd, or the network is the problem.  Ethereal would
be a good tool as well.
I can't use this via internet, since our server has no public IP.

Uli.
