hi

From: Wilfried Philippi [mailto:philippi@madex.com] Hello, i have a problem with SuSe 8.0 and sshd or telnet. On the Serverconsole a login as root or user is possible and i can login but over the Network it doesn't work and I get the Message: Access denied. This is when i work with Telnet

you shouldn't use telnet anyways ...

and also when i work with ssh. What is wrong? I use Putty as Client on the Windows site. Is there a Variable who denies remote login?

in /etc/ssh/sshd_config there's a directive called 'PermitRootLogin'. set it to yes and restart your sshd. if you cannot connect to your system via ssh as non-privileged user, have a look at /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, check your firewall-rules, try to ssh localhost ... another thing is: have a look at /var/log/messages, which is your syslog-file. it should give you a hint where you should look for enabling ssh. if you have PermitRootLogin set to no you should find something like "Jul 4 17:22:06 hostname sshd[6524]: ROOT LOGIN REFUSED FROM ::ffff:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" in there.

Thanks for your Help. Wilfried
