Having trouble configuring SSH
 

I'm trying to get SSH to work. I sat down with the book I've got about it and started configuring it. It would let me log in, but wouldn't take my password. After I configured it and created user keys, it wouldn't respond at all.

I notice that some entries in the ssh_config and sshd_config file are the same. Is this supposed to be this way? And did it quit because of something I misconfigured or because I created the new keys?

Posting steps you took, configs and error logs would come in handy I'd say. Errorlogs you make adding the triple "-v" to ssh when trying to log in. Also check your sshd's log.

My Linux computer isn't on the Internet yet, so I can't post the files.

Where are the error logs? "find /var -name *ssh*" didn't return anything useful.

ssh_config is the client side configuration and sshd_config is the server side. You probably need to edit sshd_config. Is the service running? What does the config file look like?
