[SOLVED] ssh login

[andy.nl]

Hi folks,

this might be a stupid question:
I have tried too many times to login via ssh apparently with a wrong password.
As a consequence ssh seems to block any login attempt now.
Does anybody know how I can unblock this ?

Code Select Expand

Received disconnect from 192.168.1.1 port 22:2: Too many authentication failures
Connection to defiant-nw closed by remote host.

Thanks in advance,
Andy

Do you allow password login?
Do you allow root login?

[andy.nl]

password yes
root no

[fabian]

If root login is not allowed, your credentials will be rejected even if they are correct if you login as root. Other users also have to have the right privilege set to be allowed to log in.

thanks.
activated root login permission, but no change. #its still impossible to get a connection via ssh neither as root nor via other user login.
Ssh times out as the server doesn't respond apparently.

Timeout can be a firewall issue (missing a pass rule or being blocked because of too many failed attempts).

Since it was working in the past and I didn't change anything of th fw rules, I suspect it's the latter one. How can I unblock ssh login after too many failed attempts?

Should be in Firewall -> Diagnostics -> pf tables

Bingo that was it!
Issue solved  ;D

Thanks fabian! 8)
