I could successfully SSH into my machine yesterday with the exact same credentials I am using today. The machine is running Centos 6.3. But now for some reason it is giving me permission denied. Here is my -v print out, sshd_config, and ssh_config files.

1Have you tried another user? Or changing the password for this one? – fboaventura – 2013-01-29T20:46:19.257
1I agree with fboaventura; The configs look fine; try changing the password for your user to what you think it should be, also check that it isn't expired/account locked. And try another user just in case.
Also, are you able to log in locally as that user? i.e. is the error specific to SSH or is it having an error via other auth mechs. – Justin – 2013-01-29T22:56:48.900
1(1) caplock? (2) From server, post related error in
/var/log/secure– John Siu – 2013-01-29T23:18:45.377@ fboaventura & Justin I did try another user and I also changed the password and tried it again with no success. I can login locally just fine and I can also SSH to localhost just fine. – Kentgrav – 2013-01-30T13:33:16.417
@ John Siu I added the /var/log/secure and I attempted the SSH right before I copied it. And nothing was added to it. Hope it helps. – Kentgrav – 2013-01-30T13:41:46.960
