Acces denied in SSH

[KnowNix]

At my terminal-console wich is attached to my AIX-box, I can login as root with password xxx and as a normal user with password yyy.
When i connect to this AIX-box from my PC with Putty, i got an SSH-connection. When i login to the SSH-session as root with password xxx or as the normal user with password yyy, i both get the message 'Acces Denied'. What's wrong ?

Maybe the ssh server is configured with key/host authentication.
Check in file /etc/ssh/sshd_config parameters
PasswordAuthentication and HostbasedAuthentication.
Root also can't login if PermitRootLogin is set to no.
Try to debug the ssh session from another aix/linux by running ssh -vvv aixuser@aixhost

Hope this helps,

to login remotely a user should have set rlogin=true

chuser rlogin=true user

my guess is rlogin=true or PermitRootLogin is set to no.
