Actually, that error means exactially what it says, you have run out of authentication methods. The sshd server has looked at the methods your have setup in your sshd(2)_config file and has not been able to ok all of the ones you have picked. if your "RequiredAuthentications" is set to publickey and you don't have your public key on the system you will get this error. if your "RequiredAuthentications" is set to publickey,password and you don't have your public key on the system, but you do give it your correct password you will still get the error because it was not able to authenticate _all_ of the _required_ methods. Same goes if you have hostbased set but arn't coming from a host you have setup as authorized. -Sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
