OS: Solaris 8 Sparc
server1:userA:/home/userA# ssh userB@server1
Connection closed by < IP address>
Problem: From being a userA, I am unable to connect/ssh to the same server as when trying to use a different account. (userB)
Do you know where can i start checking? Here are some additional info.
Try looking at the debug info from:
ssh -vvv userB@server1
Also, you can truss the process.
Is the connection being closed after prompting for a password?
your userB is root?
it doesn't prompt for password.

User A and B are both normal user with the same group.
