[SOLVED] Remote Manager, Port 22 issue

[uxbod]

Are you logging into the server as root or another user prior to performing the 'su' ?

I had to go

sudo -i u zimbra

because I am on ubuntu.

Ok I have my ssh server set up on port 22.

I can log in as a regular user and the results would be

So I know that the ssh server i installed prior to installing zimbra is up and working.

However no matter what I try which were
1) generating keys (dsa by default) via the zimbra user commands as mention earlier in this thread
2) generating keys the normal way (both dsa and rsa)

I cant get the test connection done by the zimbra user. The ssh server that I am using looks for authorized_keys2 as opposed to authorized_keys so I change that file name in /opt/zimbra/.ssh and all should have been good I think...

But this is how the connection goes

zimbra@mail:~/.ssh$ ssh -v -i ~/.ssh/zimbra_identity zimbra@mail.fshzimbra.lan -p 22

UPDATE: on checking my auth log while running the connect command I see this appear
"Jul 3 08:08:14 mail sshd[6310]: User zimbra not allowed because account is locked"

Why is it locked and should it be unlocked (and how is this done) so that we can connect and get rid of the error in the zimbra web interface. I'm on ubuntu 8.04

Thanks.


UPDATE 1:
Ok from the post Mail Queue ssh error I was able to unlock the zimbra user and now everyting is honky dory for now.
