asterix,

ÂÂÂ This is sure a newbie question (not dumb)! I don't know how to set sshd to prompt for a username but you can define the remote user in your command. Instead of issuing a command like "ssh remotemachine", you can use "ssh user@remotemachine" to log on the remote machine as another user! Is this the answer you're looking for or do you really need to see a "type the username" prompt? ;)

HTH!

Best regards,
Pablo

All,

  Hi, this is probably a dumb newbie question but I searched all over and
can not find an answer.  
  I have sshd set up on my server, and all I want is just username/password
authentication, but all I can seem to get when I log on from another
computer is a password prompt.  And it will only accept the root password
(with PermitRootLogin yes, if set to no it will not work - and I don't want
root to be able to log on).  How to I get the username prompt?
