Take a look to the file sshd_config in /etc/ssh. Are you trying to connect with root profile? Is PermitRootLogin set to 'yes'? If you use another user profile search for AllowUsers/DenyUsers. For more help take a look to this site: http://www.ssh.com/support/documentation/online/ssh/adminguide/32/Basic_Configuration.html Bye, leon247
i strongly second the idea of looking at the sshd_config file, and not just for looking for lockout issues. There are quite a few things that you might want to tweak.
