My father is having difficulty connecting his FreeBSD Linux to my Mac OS X 10.2.2 after a clean install via SSH. In fact, any attempt to remotely log in to any account on the Mac is greeted with an error accusing "too many authentication errors."
My father suggested that perhaps the error is in the Daemon that manages the "good" or "bad" status of certain users, and that somehow, this Daemon has become rather disaffected with everyone. Killing the Daemon's process and rebooting to restart it yielded no results, so it must have stored the problematic information in a file somewhere on the disk (/etc?).
The network connection is functional, and my father can still mount exported volumes designated by NetInfo. Could this be a problem with the new rendezvous management? There was no problem in Mac OS 10.1.5.
Any suggestions as to how I can reconcile my poor, uncooperative, Remote Login?
