Hi I am using Solaris 8, and I want to setup ssh so I can connect to my server via a console using another computer, Im using the 'Putty' telnet program. It seems to have ssh installed, like i enter ssh, and some help text comes up about the parameters to use. But when I try to connect to it via ssh, it doesn't accept my root's password

Quote: login as: root Using keyboard-interactive authentication. Password: Access denied Using keyboard-interactive authentication. Password:

Any ideas? Thanks alot. edit: also when I try to connect to it just by using telnet, it just disconnects after I enter the password.

If you want the Solaris box to accept ssh connections, you want sshd rather than ssh. I assume there's some way to have it run at startup properly, but I'm not familiar with how Solaris does initialization.

Check /etc/ssh/sshd_config to see if PermitRootLogin is set to "yes."

Thanks alot, its all working fine now!
