Response to: gssapi error
Hi ! First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to post, I really do appreciate it ! :-) Usually, this message means that the SSH server went through all the authentication methods allowed by the configuration files and could not find a match with what the client suggests. In order to see more about the process you can add the "-v" switch to the ssh command : this will show you at which point the connection attempt fails. Usually, going through the configuration files again and making sure that what should be left on is on solves the issue. Let me know if this helps ! F.J.

  Is there a typo in the sshd_config or in the article? sshd_config has
  
  #PubkeyAuthentication yes
  
  instead of
  
  #PubKeyAuthentication yes.
  
  I haven't gotten a chance to access the server yet to test.

  Hi !
  
  Keywords in the sshd_config file are normally case-insensitive.

  F.J.,
  
  This has been a great series and you have done a fantastic job. I'm sure I've messed up the sshd_config somehow. Can't wait for the last installment.
