Hello all:

- installed NetBSD 2.0.2 i386 
- enabled sshd in /etc/rc.conf
- started it /etc/rc.d/sshd start

but all I get when I want to log into
that box is:

rudi@ibook:~$ ssh steinlaus -l root
The authenticity of host 'steinlaus (192.168.2.2)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 94:16:61:89:b8:9c:b4:c2:26:d7:6a:d2:a8:0e:da:cc.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'steinlaus,192.168.2.2' (RSA) to the list of
known hosts.
root@steinlaus's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.
root@steinlaus's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.
root@steinlaus's password: 
Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).
rudi@ibook:~$ 

retries omit adding the new key to the known hosts file, but the result
is just the same.

root does have a real password, not just an empty string, so SSH should
not complain for that matter.
The box is a plain new install no change to any config file.
it runs on IPv4 192.168.2.2
I entered defaultroute, hostname, etc.  befor starting the actual
install process, so these values got added by NetBSD installer to the
/etc-files. (No chance for me to mess anything ;-) )

Oddites noted:
Since this is a "home" network I keep the domain-name empty.
In rc.conf the hostname got appended with a "." (dot) probably expecting
a domainname to follow. (deleted the dot because on NetBSD 1.6 I never
had one there)

after a reboot sendmail complains:
... sm-mta[334]: My unqualified host name (steinlaus) unknown; sleeping
for retry
To me that's a realy strange one: this computer and my notebook are
registered in /etc/hosts and the hostname is set in rc.conf  What else
is missing???

I am not sure whether my problem relates to this thread:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-help/2005/02/15/0011.html

The two boxes sit on the same IPv4 subnet, there is only a wlan-router
and a hub inbetween. Oh, and they both run NetBSD 2.0 (macppc (RC4 IIRC)
and i386 2.0.2). To make it worse, i can however log into my ibook via
ssh, and I cannot spot a difference in the respective config-files, odd.

Any idea how to fix the problem? What is broken?
