ssh loging fails.
I thought this would be simple but I have not been able to get it
working and have not found any useful insights from man pages or web
searchs.I would like to know if there is some way I can get additional
messages that might help me determine the cause of the problem. I have
become somewhat exhausted with the trial an error approach. It appears
authentication fails on the server side but the only messages in the log
are:
sshd[2407]: debug1: Forked child 2426.
sshd[2426]: refused connect from 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2)
I also tried starting from the console > sshd -d -D
but get the same messages.
Below are messages and config information if someone wants to take a
closer look at it.
THIS IS WHAT I GET ON THE CLIENT
ssh -v -l poverby 192.168.1.2
