[CentOS] Access denied false positive

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

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