Debian SSH problem
 

Hello Everybody!

I have a little problem with debian ssh.
It allows only the root login. If I try to log in as a user it says: Permission denied. (Before the bash prompt appears)
I checked the rights on the user's home directory and it is OK. The passwd file is OK. (The shell is defined /bin/bash).
I've tried PAM and RSA authentication but didn't work.
I've debugged on another port but it hasn't helped me.
Thanx in advance!

Can you explain how you are trying the login. The normal way is ssh user_name@server.name.

Hi,

default behaviour is that root canNOT login through ssh...
have a look to /etc/ssh/sshd_config : maybe the DenyUsers and AllowUsers options are used to restrict access.

I've tried to login: ssh -l 'username' 'IP address' and ssh -l 'username' -p 'portnum' -vvv 'ip address' when I used the debug mode. But the debug mode wasn't help me. I've already checked the sshd_conf file and it seems to be OK.
Any idea?
