Running debian jesse in a vbox vm on a Solaris host |

|

I have what seems like an unusual problem with root login on this |
4 |
host. |
5 |
|
6 |
I've done the normal things one does to allow root login; that is, add |
7 |
|
8 |
PermitRootLogin yes |
9 |
|
10 |
to /etc/ssh/sshd_config |
11 |
|
12 |
Restart ssh, and in fact this host has been rebooted a few times since |
13 |
adding that Permit line. |
14 |
|
15 |
I set sudo up to work with no passwd for a certain user long ago and |
16 |
so I was able to redo root passwd just to make sure there wasn't some |
17 |
error there. |
18 |
|
19 |
Still, I cannot login as root user I don't mean at the main login |
20 |
screen one gets on bootup, but from an xterm in a running session. |
21 |
|
22 |
Of course, checked to see if Caps lock was on... |
23 |
|
24 |
I'm fresh out of ideas as to what else to do here. |

The log shows: |
