Re: [9fans] ssh to osx

thanks, the problem is resolved.

accessing from plan9 to mac with factotum data 
	key proto=pass service=ssh server=mmac.local user=arisawa !password=XXXX
we fails:
maia% ssh mmac
ssh: auth ctl msg `ssh-userauth k arisawa <password>' for /net/ssh/clone: ssh-userath auth failed (not Established)
maia% 
where maia is one of my plan9 hosts and mmac is a mac mini.

the log message in /var/log/secure.log on the mac is
May 27 07:19:30 mmac sshd[71497]: fatal: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer

I found ssh2 shows more graceful message as shown below.
maia% ssh2 mmac
connect is 0
Fingerprint: 80 0A FC 62 42 E1 22 5B 81 EE 2D 21 B2 BC EE 75 
Authentication methods: publickey,keyboard-interactive
No supported authentication methods found!
maia% 

yes, we need password authentication support by sshd on mac.
just putting 
	PasswordAuthentication yes
to /etc/sshd_config is enough to be authenticated.

now I can enter mac using ssh2
maia% ssh2 mmac
connect is 0
Fingerprint: 80 0A FC 62 42 E1 22 5B 81 EE 2D 21 B2 BC EE 75 
Authentication methods: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
	Authentication by password succeeded.
