SSH configuration in RedHat Linux 9

Manoj Jose — Wed, 09 Feb 2005 04:25:32 GMT

Dear All,

I was not able to do a ssh to a linux server

from my windows pc using Putty software.

As root i am able to do the ssh.
But as a normal user I am not able to do ssh.
IF i am giving the root permission to a particular user , then by that particular user I am able to do SSH.
Please help

Please try to connect to "localhost" from linux itself and send us erro message you see.

Do you have /etc/nologin file? This file stops people logging in (except root).

If not, try to connect to localhost using non-root login name and upload us new output ...
ssh -l localhost

Dear all,

I renamed the /etc/nologin file to

/etc/nologin.old

Problem solved

Very much thanks to all for helping.
