ask ssh lj

[rmd]

so, when I try to ssh to a certain host, it fails with the message "Permission denied (,password)." Here's the tail end of the ssh -v of the connection:

debug1: Found key in /home/regis/.ssh/known_hosts:156
debug1: ssh_dss_verify: signature correct
debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent
debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS
debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received
debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent
debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received
debug1: Authentications that can continue: ,password
debug1: No more authentication methods to try.

How do I force ssh to use password authentication and to not try to use my ssh keys?

Oh, maybe the host's sshd process is not including password type as a valid auth. I seem to recall you could screw in a number of authenticators for ssh (and anything) in Solaris, that might be it.

Can you use this client to any other ssh servers with password auth?

yeah, i can ssh everywhere else with it. if it's somewhere that doesn't have my keys, it just reverts to password without a problem. it's just this appliance i have problems with. grar.
