Hey Guys!

I need some help please..

I am having issues with ssh on my linux server. It does not allow people to logon. It says, "PERMISSION DENIED". The passwords and everything is correct. I don't know why it is not working correctly.

Can some explain to me how I can uninstall ssh and reinstall ssh?

Let me know..

Thanks,

it'd probably be better if you could provide some more info, are you able to connect from a unix machine? use the -v option to display more information, if you paste it here it may help someone help you... :)

Here is the logs:

Thanks,

If you want to login with root, please check in your sshd_config file if you have:
PermitRootLogin yes

I doesn't let me login to any account...

do you have webmin? you can update your sshd_config file that way. but if you can't login at all you may want to contact your providor!

Hi - I thick you are trying to log in as root which may not be possible, try....

ssh USERNAME@66.111.36.200

...it should then ask for USERNAMES password...
