Hey everyone. I am having issues trying to ssh into my iMac. I want to ssh from my MacBook Air into my iMac. Both are running Lion. When I try to connect it asks for my password 3 times then says: Permission denied (public key,keyboard-interactive). I am positive I am typing my password correctly.
Got a tip for us?

Why do you need the usernames? just curious.
exact command is:
ssh username@xx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I am using the external ip

If the usernames are the same on both systems then you don't need to specify the username in the SSH command. If the usernames are different then the username has to be specified in the SSH command. That is why I was wanting to know what they were.

They are different. I have specified the username. I was able to ssh into my mac before. I have a second iMac that after I shhed into it (using the same command) I can't ssh into my iMac. It gives me that error.

I am no expert, but something to do with enabling the Superuser on the comp you are trying to connect to? I had this problem before, but if someone could explain / you could google it, that might help.
