RE: OpenSSH cannot login - PAM Authentication Failure



That usually indicates that you typed a bad password. Also FreeBSD by default does not allow root logins, try logging in as a standard user and add them to the wheel group.

Or you can add the following to your sshd_config file.

PermitRootLogin yes

Good luck,

Greg

Subject: OpenSSH cannot login - PAM Authentication Failure

Hi everybody,

I cannot login to SSH. I use TTSSH as a client on windows.
Everytime I type in my host (ritm) password (***) Freebsd
comes up with the error "PAM Authentication Failure". I disable PAM from
sshd_config but I still get this problem. Any help on this would be
much appreciated.


Rajen
