Re: sshd: public key working, but can't get passwords working
I finally figured it out. When I set up Windows, I was asked for an
administrative password, and gave one. Then I was asked for a default
username. I didn't know that by default Windows creates users with no
password, and that I had to explicitly set the password for each
user. So, that user had no password, and what I thought was the
password, wasn't. Add a password, and password authentication works
with sshd.
Thanks for all the help,
Dan
