Hi there --
One of our servers is running the 5.3 32-bit release. When a user logs into the system via an SSH terminal connection, he first sees an "Access denied" message, and then gets a password prompt. He is able to enter the password, and log into the system without issue. It appears the error message is a false positive.
A check of the messages and secure log files did not show anything apparent. What would cause this message to occur?

I get that when I'm using PuTTY with pageant, automatically presenting an ssh key, which the server I'm connecting to doesn't recognise.
Maybe something like that?

I had a similar issue with PuTTY after upgrading to v 0.61. I disabled Attempt GSSAPI atuthentication (SSH-2 only) under Connection>SSH>GSSAPI.

Hi there --
Thanks for everyone's replies. I do have putty 0.61, and I went ahead with Matt's suggestion. Once that was done, I logged into the server that was the subject of my posting, and the false positive did not appear.

I got bit by that one also and a little googling did the trick :) Must be a change to PuTTy's default config as many other updates to it over the years didn't behave like that.

Working GSSAPI scares the willies out of windows users when they're not used to it.

But hasn't Windoze been like that for many years?

I can only assume it's related to what they think they're doing. Remote accessing other machines and accessing files/email seem to be two different things. I'm not sure files and email necessarily give the sense of it being a remote resource in the same way.
Remote Desktop on windows doesn't use kerberos does it?
