Several possibilities, if you are trying to login as root ssh may be configured to deny root logins. ssh can also be configured to permit only selected users via the AllowUsers statement in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. If your user is not listed there it will not let you in. Verify that your caps lock key is not set. :) Another possibility that I am not sure about is selinux may be blocking the ssh connection. All of these possibilities should show up in your log files. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx Real Time, adj.: Here and now, as opposed to fake time, which only occurs there and then.
