Hi all !!

I,m using PuTTY 0.53b to connect to my Suse Linux 9.0.
When I try to enter the password for "root"it says access denied.
Does anyone know which file to look in ? security log or something
like that. I can't find an error log on my local PC called putty.log

I've also used it on Clarkconnect (buitl-in packages based on Red-Hat
7.2) and that won't cause any problem.
So apparently my Suse isn't configured to handle icoming connections.
The FAQ from the Putty website is quite difficult (for me atleast) to
read, and quite complex.

So my question is: Has anyone used it on Suse 9.0, and does it work ?
Greetings.
