Hello, This is a newb question, but here I go. sshd has always "just worked" of me (ever since 7.3) but now with 9.0 things are different. I can ssh in from unix boxes but when I try on a Windows machine using SSH Secure Shell (www.ssh.com) I get the following error: " No further authentication methods available." I don't know how to fix this one... -Matthew

Are you trying to log into the Windoze box from outside, or to a remote box from Windoze? Dylan

I want to remotely log in from a Windows box to my Linux box using SSH Secure Shell....
Have you tried plugging the error message into the search box on the ssh.com website? It hits a few relevant docs... Dylan -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

I was reading here (below link) about the problem but I couldn't find "RequireReverseMapping" in /etc/ssh. http://www.ssh.com/support/documentation/online/ssh/winadminguide/40/Authent... ation_Problems.html -Matthew

Or, install Cygwin's on the Windows box ... the ssh with it, works perfectly. Besides, it got a lot more niceties.
Turns out /etc/ssh/sshd_config has the following line: PasswordAuthentication no But "man 5 sshd_config" says: PasswordAuthentication Specifies whether password authentication is allowed. The default is ``yes''. Hmm, why is SuSE 9.0's default "no" ? I changed this to yes and BANG it works. Stay Fresh! Matthew

I would guess, that security was the reason ... if I remember correctly, the password authendication in question is done in the clear.

It defaults to 'no' because it has UsePAM set to 'yes'. This overrides PasswordAuthentication in most cases. Maybe your /etc/pam.d/sshd is screwed?
