I have enabled remote login on my OS X mavericks macbook pro. After I ssh user@ip I am prompted for the remote user password. When I enter the remote user's password it's rejected. I am confident the password is correct because I've logged into the computer by hand with the password.
I've made sure the user I am trying to ssh into the computer as is included in the ssh-able set of user accounts and that Passwordauthentication yes is in /private/etc/sshd_config.
What am I missing?
ssh -vvv user@ip
and post what it answers you. Try to login again from the console (not remotely) on that computer. Then try to use ssh from there to there:ssh localhost
and see if from there you can so you have a proof. (Eventually againssh -vvv localhost
).
