Sshd not working in hrev59570?

Software
1

I’ve set up a new vm with hrev59570 and the sshd doesn’t seem to want to allow me to connect. I’ve set my passwd, configured sshd_config to have PermitRootLogin yes and PasswordAuthentication yes and rebooted. I can ping the vm ok… but then I get:

user@192.168.122.76: Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).

When trying to connect. No prompt for a password. sshd IS running according to ps -a

I think I’ve done all the right things… but it should be working by now… did I miss something?

You could try running ssh with the verbose switch to get more information on why it was denied. You may need more than one -v to see the reason, like…

ssh -vv user@host

I often run into the problem of having too many encryption keys loaded which are rejected before a password prompt is shown. You might try running…

ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no -o PreferredAuthentications=password user@host

I did not end up getting passwords to work. Even with extra server side logging. But I switched to the usual key based authentication and THAT works. I had to ssh back to my host machine, grab the .ssh key files and put them in the right location. Then I could log in via ssh.

I have recently enabled test image to allow ssh connections without manual intervention:

It works, so maybe it can help in troubleshooting.

I’m having a similar issue.

SSH Server is enabled in Network settings.

in ssh/sshd_config I have set:

PermitRootLogin yes

have used passwd to set the password.

I checked that sshd user was added just in case. (from an older guide: useradd sshd)

But to no avail…

ssh -vv root@192…

output

debug1: next authentication method: keyboard-interactive
debug2: userauth_kbdint
debug1: Authentication that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive Permission
debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method
debug1: next authentication method: password

root@192… password:

debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply
debug1: Authentication that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
Permission denied, please try again

Is password authentication for root depreciated? should I use a public key?

The primary user (UID 0) on Haiku is named “user” unless you have changed it to “root”
