I hooked up my old server box today so that I could update the software, only to find that I could not ssh over to it:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ssh bullet Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). There were no 'official' logs, but a website I found on google suggested running /usr/sbin/sshd -ddd -p 2202 and then trying to shell over with ssh -p 2202 <boxname> Here's the output. I piped it to a file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat sshd.log debug2: load_server_config: filename /etc/ssh/sshd_config debug2: load_server_config: done config len = 237 debug2: parse_server_config: config /etc/ssh/sshd_config len 237 debug3: /etc/ssh/sshd_config:21 setting Protocol 2 debug3: /etc/ssh/sshd_config:60 setting PasswordAuthentication no debug3: /etc/ssh/sshd_config:87 setting UsePAM yes debug3: /etc/ssh/sshd_config:91 setting X11Forwarding yes debug3: /etc/ssh/sshd_config:127 setting Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/misc/sftp-server debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_4.7p1 debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key. debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA debug1: private host key: #0 type 1 RSA debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key. debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA debug1: private host key: #1 type 2 DSA debug1: rexec_argv[0]='/usr/sbin/sshd' debug1: rexec_argv[1]='-ddd' debug1: rexec_argv[2]='-p' debug1: rexec_argv[3]='2202' debug2: fd 3 setting O_NONBLOCK debug1: Bind to port 2202 on 0.0.0.0.
