No password prompt on Debian 9.3
 

Hello,

I am stuck with sshd_config settings on Debian 9.3

Systemctl status ssh
It´s ok
Port 22 is open no firewall yet.

sshd_config have:
MaxSessions 5
PermitRootLogin yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication no

Using
ssh -vv root@xxx.xx.xxx.xx -p 22

I still get immediately “Permission denied” without get the password prompt.
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
Or
Permission denied (password).

ssh -vv root@xxx.xx.xxx.xx -p 22
So what ´s missing to enable remote ssh with root password ?

Thanks

Since you are using -vv, please post what it is reporting.

Also check /var/log/auth.log on the server you are trying to connect to (if possible)

And.... pls mention that you're active on another horse too....

Not very encouraging for helpers to find it themselves....:redface:

A basic guide line to check your setup:

Hi,

The issue was solved updating local ssh.

Thank you all
