Topic: Unable to connect to SME via SSH

[Conundrum]

Hi

I having a problem connecting to my SME server using ssh. I've enable ssh and admin command line access in server-manager, but when I connect using putty I get a terminal window asking for my login ID, I enter it and putty closes.

Any Ideas?

Have you also enabled 'Allow SSH access using standard passwords"

Conundrum,
Standard user logins are disabled by default, you can only login as root or admin. Below is an excerpt from the manual:

Note
By default, only two user names can be used to login remotely to the server: admin (to access the server console) and root (to use the Linux shell). Regular users are not permitted to login to the server itself. If you give another user the ability to login remotely to the server, you will need to access the underlying Linux operating system and manually change the user's shell in /etc/passwd.
