The passwd- can be ignored as well.

Your problem does not appear to be the same... can you run:
Code:
ssh root@localhost
From your N900 and connect?
Yes you are right. somehow I was playing around and then I tried root like you said before I read your post. I guess its a trial and error thing. Thanks for the help!

Edit: I was using putty via Win7 somehow it does not work directly connecting root@localhost. I managed to get it working with by using my NIX machine to the N900. It also works by using putty by ssh'ing to a NIX machine and then ssh'ing onto N900.
The issue is with the putty client itself!
