[SOLVED] midpssh and the blackberry

[TheFuzz4]

Ok so I downloaded and installed the midpssh client for my blackberry so I could SSH into either my work box or my box at home. However every time that I try and SSH into my box at home (can't try my work one yet since I don't have the SSH server installed there yet) It tries to connect and this is what I get:
connection to mydomain ok
negotiating ok
ssh key
requesting authentication
sent password
start keyboard interactive
authentication failure
available methods are publickey, password

and then it just sits there. I know that my ssh is open and my router is forwarding to my machine just fine since I ssh into it from work all the time. I'm not sure if maybe it's the program or me.
From what I've read midpssh is highly reviewed and since it's free that's why I snagged it. If anyone can help with this I would be very grateful. Thank you.

"You may also need to check that your username and password are both in the correct case. A blackberry will attempt to capitalize the first letter in most places where you enter text."

Re: midpssh and the blackberry

Well snowhog you are once again a genius I did not know that linux was case sensitive with the user name. I knew passwords were of course case sensitive but I guess being a windows admin and user for so long I just got so used to usernames not being case sensitive that I didn't even think about that. But that definetly did the trick. Authentication Accepted Thank you so much for your help on this.

In Linux everything is case sensitive. Glad I got you pointed to the fix.
