I've updated my firewall to OpenSUSE v11.0. I'm trying to disable password authentication, without much luck. I've set passwordauthenitication to no in sshd_config, but I can still log in using a password. Is there something I'm missing, as this used to be simple to do.

tnx jk

Did you restart sshd? rcsshd restart?

Also, if you installed your public key in authroized_keys on the server, it might be failing password authentication and then simply turning around and using your public/private key pairs giving the appearance of working.

Try logging in as a different user.

Forgot to mention. I did restart sshd and even rebooted the computer. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
