How embarassing, my first post on the freebsd forums, and its about Vista.
I'm probably one of the very few people that actually use Windows Vista Home Premium, but I got a laptop primarily to play video games and that's what it came with. I also use this laptop to VPN in to work and SSH to the multitude of FBSD boxen there and at home.
With FBSD 6.x I had no problems. I had several machines that had 6.x on them, and I could use putty to SSH into them at any time.
After upgrading to 7.x, I noticed that I would get 'access denied' any time I tried to putty from the vista laptop. XP works fine, OSX works fine, but my poor little 'wintendo' will not connect.
The machines are on the same subnet, same switch, etc. The OSX or XP machines can get in with the same username/password. The vista machine gets 'access denied'.
I have googled, but you try typing in 'vista access denied' and see what you get.
Is there a setting for the SSHd that is keeping Vista from being able to get in? Or is this a Vista issue? Otherwise, I have to put another OS on the laptop just to do SSH.
Thanks for any input.
