Can you logon with root? if you have a root account
--if so then a persmissions problem with user account..

Create a new user and see if the new user also gets the erro in connecting to the openssh server ?

--you might want to regenerate the ssh keys on the client side..


OK, always check your configurations (and make no assumptions) whenever an error strikes, especially if it had been working previously

Don't assume that noting in the application has changed: you must check to be sure!

https://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/an ... n_with_ssh

A small bit about the jargon
{1} ssh stands for Secure SHell on a basic level it is like telnet but has many other differences the main one being encryption.
{2} Client the client is the machine that initiates the connection.
{3} Server the server is the machine that listens for incoming connections.
{4} Private keys are stored on the client.
{5} Public keys are stored on the server.
{6} Less secure if the client is compromised so is access to the server

i can log in with a non-root user but not as my admin-account.
i have changed permitrootlogin to yes but still no difference.

the problem with a normal account is that i often use sudo... and with a normal account i believe i cant do that... am i right?

shall i set privilegeseparation to no???

i reinstalled my ubuntu 12.04 server OS and now its working!

thanks anyway. its always good to have ppl to ask!
