Normally to connect remotly to this server I use a putty terminal (running on windows XP client). Now I have the following problem: when I open a client terminal connection (with a putty terminal) the message "login as: " is normally displaied. After I insert my login usermane followed from return key press. I wait for "password:" message request but it isn't displayed. Moreover after about 1 minute the putty terminal session is automatically closed. On server site the following message is displaied: "fatal: Timeout before authentication for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is client IP address. Can someone help me to understand what' s happen? Thanks for your help in advance and excuse me for my bad english. Giovoni Roberto
