Re: No username prompt SSHD

No, it is the client side.
The client takes the current user and passes that to the server as the
username to
login as.

To override this you must supply a username to the client in one of two ways:
$ ssh <user>@<server>

or

$ ssh -l <user> <server>

The client "ssh" (not the server "sshd") would need to prompt the user for the
username, before sending it over to the server. This has never been done for
unix ssh clients. Windows clients are another story.

SSH's user interface is modeled after the r* commands (rlogin/rsh/rcp/rcmd). In
fact, SSH was designed to be able to be a complete replacement for the
r* commands.
You could delete rsh and rename ssh to rsh, and every program the was
designed to
use rsh, would still work fine.

It would take the user you have logged in as.

The documentation says it is taken from the env " LOGNAME" but I am
not very sure about this ..

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?

Thanks all, my sshd.config is below. - John
