Hi dear all.
When I connect to Gentoo with Putty without any key file specified, sshd requests linux pwd for the requested login.
I don't know how to configure sshd_config accordingly.
Any suggestion?
Thanks for your attention.

Thks for your quick reply  . Sorry but your suggestion didn't work.
Nevertheless I decided to test the following section of the default /etc/sshd/sshd_config file: | Code: | # To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!
#PasswordAuthentication no |
turning it to | Code: | # To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!
#PasswordAuthentication no
PasswordAuthentication no |
which did the trick  ! So, although I thought the original section meant that | Code: | | #PasswordAuthentication no |
was the default, it doesn't seem to be the case   ?
Thanks for attention, interest and support. |
