Re: [PLUG] Comcast & SSH

[Jim Foster <jif@computer.org>]

I'm able to get to the login prompt of ssh.   I enter my userid and then it 
prompts me for my password.  I'll enter my correct password, but ssh acts 
like it's not the correct password.  Does this sound like DNS?

btw, I'm going through a Linksys NAT with port 23 forwarded to my RH 7.2 
Linux machine.  This worked fine until about 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for your help!  I'm still a Linux newbie.
