mxagentconfig not working

[Greg Traud_2]

I have OpenSSH, OpenSSL, and WBEM and installed on both CMS and managed servers (all HP-UX):
root@sblab1p [/sbin/init.d]# swlist -l bundle T1471AA B8465BA OpenSSL
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "sblab1p"...
#
# Target: sblab1p:/
#

B8465BA A.02.00.07 HP WBEM Services for HP-UX
OpenSSL A.00.09.07e.012 Secure Network Communications Protocol
T1471AA A.04.00.002 HP-UX Secure Shell

But when I run:

mxagentconfig -a -n sblab1p -u root -f /etc/mx/sblab1p
from the CMS, I get:
Failed to register as an agent to: sblab1p.dplinc.com
Error: Configuration failed to complete due to the following exception:
Unable to contact the SSH server on node "sblab1p".

The file: /etc/mx/sblab1p contains the root password for sblab1p. It is only root readable, and contains only the password for root.

Please help.

I figured it out.
/opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config had the parameter:
PermitRootLogin
set to 'no'

Once I changed it to yes, and restarted
/sbin/init.d/secsh
mxagentconfig worked as advertised.
