OG> Hi all,

OG> On two distinct machines (both running FreeBSD 5.3 release, one is the

OG> Does anyone know the reason for this (note: I am not starting the SSH

OG> Thanks in advance for any answers, and cheers!

Look in /etc/ssh/sshd_conf for the setting "PasswordAuthentication" I
think the default changed from yes to no.
