On the first box, the only thing I did after the install process was edit "/etc/ssh/sshd_config", setting "PermitRootLogin" to "yes", then issuing "killall -1 sshd". = After this change, I could successfully connect to this box via my SSH client. I did the same thing with the second box, but I cannot login via my SSH client. I get an invalid password error, and "Failed password" also = appears on the server in "/var/log/auth.log". I have rebooted, and also reinstalled, to no avail. Any idea as to what could be causing this = error?
