I did everything of this kind, *but* I remain unable to ssh a TC from
the server.

Strange behaviour:

bash-3.2# service sshd status
openssh-daemon is stopped

but if I try to ssh a TC, ssh is running:

bash-3.2# ssh root at 172.31.100.100
root at 172.31.100.100's password:
Permission denied, please try again.


So the password is not set. Then I try:

bash-3.2# passwd root
Changement de mot de passe pour l'utilisateur root.
Nouveau UNIX mot de passe :
Retapez le nouveau UNIX mot de passe :
passwd: Utilisateur inconnu par le module d'authentification sous-jacent

translation:

1- Change password for user root

2 New UNIX password

3- retype the password

After sometimes:

4- passwd: unknown user for the underlying authentication module


What does this mean?

Thanks for helping.
