I can ssh between them all happily as root, but not as individual other users. After prompting me for a password, it says: Permission denied. In /etc/ssh/sshd_config I have the lines: PasswordAuthentication yes ChallengeResponseAuthentication no UsePAM yes X11Forwarding yes but I can't seem to move forward. Any ideas?
