This is only my second week wtih FreeBSD, so please bear with me. My Linux experience was not able to help me with this problem, and I tried searching around mailing list archives but am thinking this problem is something really simple that I am overlooking. I have a very simple configuration. I have a Windows 2000 system and a FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE system. They only have local IP addresses (192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0) and (192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0). I can connect through telnet/ftp/www to the FreeBSD machine and ping it without any problems at all. However, when I use either PuTTY or SecureSSH to connect through SSH, it asks for my name and password, then sits there forever and doesn't authenticate me. I even turned on debugging and ran the sshd manually. It gets to the line "debug: attempting authentication for brianr" and hangs there until I give up and kill sshd. Can someone provide any ideas on how to fix this? SSH isn't critical for what I'm doing since I'm on a private local network, but I do intend to move this system onto a dedicated Internet connection soon and would like to already have SSH working and in place.
