OK,
Troubleshouting and configuring a Blackberry SSH client to connect
back to a workstation, the last stumbling block was with my
/etc/ssh/sshd_config; I needed to change


# Change to yes to enable tunnelled clear text passwords
PasswordAuthentication yes



from 'no' to 'yes'
and volla!!!, sweet java SSH client for blackberry (MidpSSH being the
opensource client if anyone interested)

Can anyone expand on the verbos description of this flag and suggest
any additional security risks that this may cause?
