Can't get ssh access for new user
 
Hi,

After i created a new user i tried to login with ssh but it failed.

I did:

Code:
useradd name
passwd name

mkdir /home/name
chown name:users /home/name
Then when i SSH i get the following:

Code:
debug3: packet_send2: adding 64 (len 60 padlen 4 extra_pad 64)
debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password
Permission denied, please try again.
I also added the user to allowusers on sshd_config. What did i do wrong?

Hi,

I can't see anything obviously wrong with your setup. You should check what sshd is logging, this will typically provide more useful information than the ssh cclient. On a Debian derived system this would be in /var/log/auth.log

A couple of other things to check: can you confirm that sshing the same way works with an "old" user? Also, are you able to log in locally (or su -l to) with the new user?

It's okay now, it thought i didn't had to reload the ssh service but that made it work.

Ahh, yes that would happen if you already had AllowUsers line in your sshd_config

Anyway, glad it is working.
