I've got a pair of machines here that I am using to learn how to implement
OpenSSH for secure remote access.
I've gotten to the point where the "server" is running sshd, but when I go
to the client and go "ssh ", I'm asked for a password but
when I enter it, I get "Permission denied, please try again." I know the
account and password are valid on the server (I can telnet in if I want).
Is there something, perhaps some kind of key exchange, that I've missed?
FWIW, the first time I tried this, I got a dialog having to do with
authentication of the machines in which it asked me if I still wanted to
connect. After typing "yes," it added the IP to the list of "known hosts."
Anyone seen a better guide than the OpenSSH docs, say, a magazine article?
Would I be better off overall if I popped for the $89 two-user commercial
version of SSH2, or would I just be giving up too easily? ;-)
