Failed password for invalid user
Dear All ,
I have created a user named X and gave sudo permissions for it , So that it can access some commands as root.
This particular user can login to the server using SSH login through putty any where with in the network.
But there is some issue , when the same user is trying from UCMDB tool ( HP tool for discovery of machines ) through SSH protocol , it says connection failed.
On seeing the /var/log/secure in the Linux Server , it says the below log
Failed password for invalid user <username> from 172.X.X.X port 49401 ssh2
Can any body throw some light on this.
Thanks and Regards ,
Rj

nwvolinfo
NWVOLINFO(1) nwvolinfo NWVOLINFO(1)
NAME
nwvolinfo - Diplay info on NetWare Volumes
SYNOPSIS
nwvolinfo [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -v volume ] [ -N ]
DESCRIPTION
nwvolinfo displays information on a NetWare Server Volume.
nwvolinfo looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa-
tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwvolinfo
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-v volume
The volume name to be used. Defaults to 'SYS'.
-N
Display the information in numeric-only format for use in a pipe.
