Hi all,
Finally my N800 arrived!! Beautiful gadget, that seems to run quite well.

I have a very silly question. I searched around and googled, but was unable to find the answer (probably because the question is too silly).

I installed both SSH client and server, the SSH server specially to allow me to use my PC keyboard. I was able to ssh my PC with no problems. But when trying to ssh my N800, I get:
$ ssh root@147.65.21.102
root@147.65.21.102's password: *********
Permission denied, please try again.

Same result using user as user.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

You're entering the correct password? You installed openssh-server, not dropbear right? If you installed openssh, it should have asked you to set the password.

sshing in as user won't work; user has no password (although, I believe, for OpenSSH, you can edit sshd.conf to allow login to accounts with empty passwords). You can set one but I usually "su - user" after sshing in as root.

If you need to set the root password, install rootsh from application manager; run "root" and run "passwd".

I think so...

Right.

It did.

I set user password with passwd command.

I see.

I did it again, same problem. The third incorrect password gave me:

Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password).

Thanks!

Can you run your ssh command with the -vv switch? This produces more verbose output and might help diagnose the problem.

i.e. `ssh -vv me@somewhere.com`

Sure. Here you are:

Thanks again,

Please forget about this thread. There was some problem at my work with the network traffic. At home everything worked perfectly.

Thanks!!!!!
