samba - Oct 2006 - Telnet and SSH login problems with Red Hat Enterprise ES4

Hello 

We have successfully set up Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES4 and we are now
trying to connect remote clients to connect to it.

The problems we are having are as follows:
a)	If we set connect with telnet, we get the login prompt.  If we
use any valid login name & password combination (including root), we get
the response "Login incorrect" and then the login prompt comes back.
How can we allow non-root users to connect with telnet?

b)  	If we connect with SSH, we can log in with "root".  However, we
can not connect with any other account because it says "connection
refused by server".  How can we allow other users to connect with SSH.

Telnet is running on the Linux server.

Firstly this isn't a Telnet/SSH list. Such subject must be send to
correct lists and not here.
Second, avoid use telnet, or anyone in your network can eavesdrop your
passwords.
Probably you can't connect using another user using SSH because your
sshd_conf settings is blocking this. Check it.

Hello

I am not sure which list I need to post this to.  However, I am pretty
sure that it is more a configuration issue on my Linux server.  As I
stated before, I can use SSH and connect to the Linux box remotely using
the root account.   However, if I use a different account I get the
following error:

	"connection refused by server".  

I checked the sshd_conf settings and could not find anything in
particular.  Can anyone point out what parameters I should check?
