I have it setup and everything runs great, except for when it comes time to login via the applet. Mindterm, upon entering my username, abruptly responds "Authentication method 'password' not supported by server". I went into the sshd_config and changed the 'passwordauthentication' to yes and it now asks me for my password (which it never did before) and I get my shell. Now firstly, is this an option I want to leave on? Or is there a better way of going about this? Please forgive the ignorance but I hope this is the right list to post to. Thanks in advance for any help.
