I'm using Maemo on my Nokia N900. It's basically Debian Lenny. It's running OpenSSH 5.1p1.I'm trying to connect to the phone via SSH. I have it connected to the computer, and I can ping the IP address and attempt an SSH connection. The problem is I can not log in with the user password.I do the following from my machine:ssh root@192.168.2.17 (this is the phone's IP)I get asked for the password and enter it. It returns with password incorrect after 3 attempts.I have tried to reset the password using passwd and passwd root. I can successfully change the password. I've rebooted sshd, and the phone, to no avail.On the phone, if I run ssh root@localhost it asks for the password and works fine. But doesn't seem to work if I try to login from my machine. The IP is definitely correct and is the correct device.Is there any reason why this may not be working?Here's the output when I try connect:ssh root@192.168.2.17The authenticity of host '192.168.2.17 (192.168.2.17)' can't be established.ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:0AnEm/7SPc9ELe7ZGXacXeVVKjbpSsADNPSx0Fay45Y.Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yesWarning: Permanently added '192.168.2.17' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.Password:Password:Password:Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).In /etc/ssh/sshd_config ...
