problem with SSH2.....

        Dear Linux iPaq fans,

                As an ultimate alternative, I have decided to ask for help concerning
ssh2 connections between an iPaq H3670 and my Compaq presario 1800T.
        To get to the point:
        I have succeeded in istalling the Intimate version of Linux in the
iPaq.
        I have succeded in setting up a ppp connection between the two devices.

When I try to ssh2 from my compaq to the iPaq : the iPaq ask for the
user's password, and after typing the
password three times, the authentification fails: here is a copy of the
verbose mode
retrieved by ssh2 on the client side (presario)

benharro's password:

        And after having entered the password three times it follows with

        Disconnected, no more authentification available...

I did copy the public key of the user from the PC to the .ssh2 of the
user directory in the iPaq, but it would still
ask me for the password and refusing me access..

        Thank you again, if some of you read until here. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Don't hesitate
if you need more info about the odd problem.

        Michael .
