[cobalt-security] Re: SSH

[william ross <will@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello.

apologies for the idiot question.
but a raq i run has suddenly started refusing ssh connections with the message:

	Authenticated with partial success.
	Permission denied ().

and i don't know why. i don't think it's a problem with the 
reverse-dns - i've tried from several places and via other accounts - 
and I don't think anything significant has changed in the last day or 
so.

normally when i've screwed up something like this I use the 'gui' to 
enable telnet temporarily. however, i allowed cpan.pm to install perl 
5.6.1 on this machine not long ago and managed to bork the cobalt 
tools rather badly.

so if anyone has a suggestion I'd be most grateful.

thanks

will

ps. isn't there a proverb about programmers making less than 
excellent sysadmins?
