[WBEL-users] Root login: Access Denied

[Kuervers.SJ@forces.gc.ca]

It could be something as simple as trying to access the wrong machine.

Are you positive of the DNS lookup and IP Address?  The Access Denied might
be because you are trying (for example) to SSH into a Windows server due to
incorrect IP.

Another possibility is a firewall between you and the server.  Is it
possible that a firewall is blocking the SSH traffic to the server?

A final possibility:  Is the SSHD service running.  Perhaps it is not set to
start up on boot?

Hope this helps.

Subject: [WBEL-users] Root login: Access Denied


Hi hope someone can help :]

I've built a wee server and I've just put it in the datacentre, but now 
I can't seem to login via ssh with the root account (Access Denied).  
When I had it locally to me I could ssh in fine, so I'm assuming that 
there is a rule somewhere that dissallows logging in as root from a 
remote location (excluding when the remote machine is on the same ip 
range) is this normal, I know fbsd defaults to something similar, but I 
was unaware that WBEL did too or maybe I'm just entirely confused and 
it's something else :] Also when I su from another user I get incorrect 
password (which I'm positive it isn't)

Any ideas?

Anthony Plunkett.
