SSH Access Issues

[bruce]

here are copies of the ssh_config/sshd_config files on one of my boxes...

=================================================================
[root at lserver2 ssh]# cat ssh_config
#       $OpenBSD: ssh_config,v 1.15 2002/06/20 20:03:34 stevesk Exp $

# This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file.  See
# ssh_config(5) for more information.  This file provides defaults for
# users, and the values can be changed in per-user configuration files
# or on the command line.

# Configuration data is parsed as follows:
#  1. command line options
#  2. user-specific file
#  3. system-wide file
# Any configuration value is only changed the first time it is set.
# Thus, host-specific definitions should be at the beginning of the
# configuration file, and defaults at the end.

# Site-wide defaults for various options

# Host *
#   ForwardAgent no
#   ForwardX11 no
#   RhostsAuthentication no
#   RhostsRSAAuthentication no
#   RSAAuthentication yes
#   PasswordAuthentication yes
#   BatchMode no
#   CheckHostIP yes
#   StrictHostKeyChecking ask
#   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity
#   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
#   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa

Hi List,

I have several F8 and F9 boxes in an internal network.  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?

Jonathan
