[SOLVED] ssh authenication failure

screwzm · 11-15-2012, 12:03 AM

I can ping host B from host A, but when I try to ssh host B from host A, I got the following error msg:

Code:

2012-11-15T05:10:32.948222+00:00 hosta login: pam_unix(login:auth): authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=tty1 ruser= rhost=  user=root
2012-11-15T05:10:34.396044+00:00 hosta login: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR root, Authentication failure
2012-11-15T05:10:37.839209+00:00 hosta login: pam_unix(login:session): session opened for user root by LOGIN(uid=0)
2012-11-15T05:10:37.890029+00:00 hosta login: ROOT LOGIN ON tty1
2012-11-15T05:10:37.944290+00:00 hosta sudo:     root : TTY=tty1 ; PWD=/root ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/service sofsgui extstatus

What seems to be the cause? Thanks in advance....

that's nothing to do with ssh. tty1 is a local console. There is no problem / cause here.

Can you provide more details? lol

Not sure what details you want. If you have an ssh issue, then the logs you posted are not relevant, so don't need explaining.

I mean if this is not caused by ssh. Then what seems to be the cause? could you please give me some clue on it? thanks

that's just someone logging in sitting in front of the box. there is no "error" there. an authentication failure is not necessarily an error at all, people get passwords wrong.
