while ssh'ing to my box I keep getting

Code:
Permission denied, please try again.

my password seems incorrect, while I am 100% certain i typed the right I tried over a 100 times and tried the other account.. nothing

well.. here some technical details: os x 10.4.4 ( 2 user accounts 1 admin / 1normal)

[/etc/visudo]
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
usernamehere ALL=(ALL) ALL
# --> all your base are belong to us! <---
#%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

ssh -v:
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005


(used darwin ports to install openssh)

xx@xx:/usr/bin$ ls -la
..
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18 Feb 18 04:54 ssh -> /opt/local/bin/ssh
..

my sshd_config:
http://unixwarrior.org/ssh.txt

removing .ssh no luck..

it's purely ssh because ftp accepts the passwords..

Well it seems I need your help and time again . thanks in advance!

I have a suspicion it's the fact that you used darwin ports. Is there a reason you didn't use the included version of OpenSSH?

Try uninstalling the DP version of OpenSSH, and make sure you can connect with the built-in version of OpenSSH.

The built-in version of OpenSSH failed.. to I guess reïnstalling os x is the best thing I can do.. I messed up a lot of os x system files.. I learned a lot...


well for those with the same problem..
here's what I am gonna do: (mind my english it's 4 am now here, and i am a little *drunk* )

* reinstall os x
* install ports
* openssh
* unload normal os x port:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDeamons/ssh.plist

then loading the openssh

sudo launchctl load -w /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.darwinports.OpenSSH/org.darwinports.OpenSSH.plist

Then cd /usr/bin/

sudo mv ssh ssh.old

sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/ssh ssh

* reboot os x and I guess it should work fine...

I am gonna try this right now if it doesn't work I'll report it here.. but since I have messed a lot I don't want any of guys go through the same mess I had to..

Thanks Detrius!

oh and why don't I just simple use the normal openssh? Well I am used to running OpenBSD / FreeBSD and openssh is always up2date on both systems (when I do some updating)

I mean.. OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005 sounds better then the 3.8p2 included os x? Or am I just being stupid?
