On an OpenBSD machine it is <br /> /etc/ssh_config. On RedHat 7.1 box it was /etc/ssh/ssh_config. In that file <br /> is the this line:<br /> <br /> PasswordAuthentication yes<br /> <br /> For them to be able to login, they must have &quot;yes&quot; at the end of the line,<br /> and the line must be uncommented. On some versions of SSH, it is NOT<br /> uncommented by default.</div>
