[CLUE-Tech] ssh trouble

[Jason S. Friedman]

SSH has been working between my two boxes with the various users I have set up on them.

Now, the root user on box 1 cannot ssh to box 2 as any user.  In other words, as root:

ssh root at box2
fails
ssh plainuser at box2
fails

Whereas, as plainuser on box 1:
ssh root at box2
succeeds
ssh plainuser at box2
succeeds

And, any user on box 2, including root, can ssh to box 1 successfully.

Here's my output:
