Dear all, could someone be so kind to point out to me which settings in sshd_config have to be changed to allow login from an ssh client without getting "authentication failed" messages on the console and a timeout on the guest machine. My client, putty in this case display the login: dialog, but after entering the username hangs without ever displaying the password: dialog My FreeBSD5.3 Release box ps -aux reveals: root 722 0.0 0.7 3360 2812 ?? Is 12:12AM 0:00.01 sshd root 755 0.0 0.8 4720 2920 ?? Is 12:29AM 0:00.05 sshd: [accepted] (sshd) sshd 756 0.0 0.8 4792 2936 ??

I tried to consult the handbook, also to no avail. Help needed and appreciated, Fabian
