Message-ID: <20020527100513.X49709-100000@starship.alienwebshop.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I just installed a fresh 4.5 system from CD-ROM yesterday. Once it was installed, I tried to ssh into it. If I tried to ssh from the localhost, it worked properly (prompted me for a password). When I tried to ssh from another machine, I was prompted for an s/key. Is that the default behavior? The way I got it to work was to uncomment the line that turns off s/key authentication in the sshd_config. Is that the proper way to fix this? I also messed with the pam.conf but that didn't really seem to have an effect. I have no experience with pam. Basically, I'm just looking for guidance here. I'm new to this stuff. Is that what most people to do get around that s/key issue? Or are lots of people actually using s/key today? /l ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lukas Karlsson karlsson@panix.com Cambridge, MA http://lukwam.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
