Post subject:  can't ssh in

Hi -
I've got my new linode setup - but I cannot ssh in from my home workstation.

I can ping the IP.
IPTables isn't running (yet)
sshd is up and running.
I can use the ajax ssh web client just fine.

Anytime I try ssh'ing in though, I get this error message:
debug1: No more authentication methods to try.
Permission denied (publickey).

why isn't it letting me use password auth?
I have PasswordAuthentication = yes in my sshd_config

in fact, I can ssh -vv root@localhost just fine using the ajax console - and it say's "
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password "

So why localhost let's me do password, remote doesn't?

Thanks.

Tyrrvk

Do you have password authentication disabled on your workstation?

Usually check ~/.ssh/config or /etc/ssh_config

Doesn't look like it.

what's really weird - is I couldn't log in with iTerm2.
So I tried the default mac shell program "terminal"
and it worked - I could ssh in.

Closed out - and tried logging in again, and now I am not able to?

Maybe you have a lot of ssh keys stored, in terminal run ssh-add -l if it prints a bunch of entries then your machine will be trying every one until the server rejects it for too many attempts.
