slackware64 14.2 can't log in using ssh
 
trying to log into a fresh install of slack64 14.2 (and yes, i made sure the password is correct)

Code:
ssh root@192.168.0.xx
root@192.168.0.xx's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root@192.168.0.xx's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root@192.168.0.xx's password:
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
tried it from two different machines. never had this problem before with earlier versions of slack.

SSH root logins are disabled default by upstream, I think.

By editing sshd_config?

The best option is to authorise an SSH key for the root account. It's more convenient than password-based auth, and more secure. If you can't (or don't want to) do that, replace the following line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

Code:
#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password
with:

Code:
PermitRootLogin yes
and restart sshd.

just tried it, still not working...also added
Code:
AllowUsers root
and it's still not working...

Remove the AllowUsers line: that'll also prevent any users other than root from logging in via SSH.

Did you remember to restart sshd?

Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.sshd restart

i was trying to use
Code:
sshd -t
because it seemed the manpage for sshd said it rereads the conf file... tnx, it's working now.
