Just keep in mind that rsa/dsa keys would be a more secure way of authenticating, especially with all the brute-force scripts out there.

Ohh okay that makes sense.

For everyones information, I got it to work properly. First of all, I'm an idiot and was edited /etc/ssh/ssh_config, not /etc/ssh/sshD_config :P

Secondly, I had to enable PasswordAuthentication yes as well as ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

This works perfectly now. Thanks again everyone, sorry for wasting your time.

I think that tells you that this is the default setting if you don't change it.

Hi Daevid,

I tried playing around with some options in there and didn't seem to do much, but not sure if I tried changing that specifically. I do have a question though.. My ssh_config looks something along the lines of this:

#  Host *
#    PasswordAuthentication yes

My question is, should they actually have # symbols in front as if they're commented out? My gut is telling me no..

Thanks again

Hey all,

I've been using other distributions for a while (CentOS, Slackware, Red Hat, etc) and finally switching to Gentoo, however this oddness with SSH is getting to me. It seems when I SSH into my machine it uses "keyboard interative" mode, where as I'm used to every other distro using just "password" mode I think it is. I'm wondering if there is any way to change this. I tried comparing /etc/ssh/ssh_config between my CentOS machine and my Gentoo machine, and both files are pretty much the same, and everything is commented out anyway.

Any light someone could shed on this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
