I have a Pentium III 733 Mhz box with 512 MB RAM running FreeBSD 6.1.
I also have a second box with Fedora Core 2. I tried connecting to my
FreeBSD box using ssh from my Fedora Core 2 machine.

# ssh -l root <myFreeBSD box>
Password:
Password:
Password:

It kept asking me for Password: although everytime I put the correct
value. I tried out clearing the .ssh* files in my home directories and
trying to reconnect. None of it worked.

Where am I going wrong.
