SSH login problem - cannot choose user


When trying to access my ssh server (i'm setting up) thru ssh (in bash- ssh 127.0.0.1) i get a weird login prompt. INstead of getting user: and then password: i get this:

atom@localhost password:

Can anyone help me set this up so guests can login too?

If you are logged into a shell account, and you ssh to another shell account, it passes your current username. You can login as a different user with the "-l username" option.

If you login from Windows, using something like PuTTY, then it will ask for a username. I'm guessing it would do the same if you didn't have a matching username on both Linux boxen.

well, the thing is a friend also tried to login, and it obviously passed his username on too. so you are saying that i use the command line switch -l. I'll try.

--back> It works. Thanks
