No username prompt SSHD

[asterix2112]

All,

  Hi, this is probably a dumb newbie question but I searched all over and can not find an answer.  
  I have sshd set up on my server, and all I want is just username/password authentication, but all I can seem to get when I log on from another computer is a password prompt.  And it will only accept the root password (with PermitRootLogin yes, if set to no it will not work - and I don't want root to be able to log on).  How to I get the username prompt?

Thanks all, my sshd.config is below.  - John

This is most likely because your SSH client is sending a username.

No it is the server side because when you just to do a " ssh server" .
It would take the user you have logged in as.

The documentation says it is taken from the env " LOGNAME" but I am
not very sure about this ..

asterix,

    This is sure a newbie question (not dumb)! I don't know how to set sshd to prompt for a username but you can define the remote user in your command. Instead of issuing a command like "ssh remotemachine", you can use "ssh user@remotemachine" to log on the remote machine as another user! Is this the answer you're looking for or do you really need to see a "type the username" prompt? ;)

HTH!

Best regards,
Pablo

You are mistaken.

Most SSH clients will, by default, send the name you are currently logged
in with to the server.

No, it is the client side.
The client takes the current user and passes that to the server as the
username to
login as.

To override this you must supply a username to the client in one of two ways:
$ ssh <user>@<server>

or

$ ssh -l <user> <server>

The client "ssh" (not the server "sshd") would need to prompt the user for the
username, before sending it over to the server.  This has never been done for
unix ssh clients.  Windows clients are another story.

SSH's user interface is modeled after the r* commands (rlogin/rsh/rcp/rcmd).  In
fact, SSH was designed to be able to be a complete replacement for the
r* commands.
You could delete rsh and rename ssh to rsh, and every program the was
designed to
use rsh, would still work fine.
