Re: ssh problems

[rich lott <rl3@shinyblue.net>]

I lost the reply to this originally, so this may appear as a new posting 
(soz!)

I'd written:

I have a Woody box running ssh. I can remotely access it no problems using 
linux, but try from WinSCP and I can only log in as root! For other users it 
won't authenticate the password.

Any ideas?

And I'd been advised to look at the logs (which are below). Can anyone see 
anything that's wrong?

thanks
