SSH access deny error while connecting

[shikhar_1]

Hi All,

I have installed fresh OS 11. ver 3 on rx2660 integrity server. Now i am facing problem with ssh connection from remote.Once the connection has been established its not accepting the password and throwing the error "access denied".
Although i am able to login through telnet.
Appreaciting your response.

Your ssh daemon running? Is it listening to port 22 ?

[shikhar_1]

Yes its running.

ps -eaf | grep -i sshd
root 11037 1 0 12:33:20 ? 0:00 /opt/ssh/sbin/sshd
root 11333 10689 0 13:01:17 pts/ta 0:00 grep -i sshd

Do we need to some changes on sshd_config file?

[kemo]

are you trying to login using root ?
if yes make sure you have this directive enabled in sshd_config file

PermitRootLogin yes

thanks

Hi Shikhar,

please check "PermitRootLogin" parameter setting in /opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config File.

it should like below,
"PermitRootLogin yes"

then stop and start ssh service as below,

Stop HP UX SSH Service
# /sbin/init.d/secsh stop

Start HP UX SSH Service
# /sbin/init.d/secsh start

Then try to ssh in this server.

Thanks,
sarfaraj

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.

I have already done whatever u told me but still i am unable to login to my server from remote. Although i am able to login through telnet.
I have attached the configuration file (sshd_config) and all the errors also.

Pls reply..
