PuTTY “Access denied” before login to RHEL

Posted by meta on 2012-01-10 | 1 Comment

Problem:

When you use PuTTY to SSH to a RHEL machine, you get an “Access denied” error displayed before the prompt for your password.

Solution:

Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and set GSSAPIAuthentication no

Then /etc/init.d/sshd restart
