Failed password for root from 192.168.204.1 port ssh2
Read from socket failed : connection reset by peer
[ID 800047 auth.crit] fatal :read from socket failed :connection reset by peer

Please advice

You are trying telnet to root where as the log shows port ssh2 failure.

This log is incomplete
I would like to see the whole thing.

<Date><hostname><facility.level> Failed password for root from 192.168.204.1 port ssh2

You may scramble the hostname. But I need the facility.level.

I dont get why ssh2 is comming in picture.

Thanks,
KK

I make amendment .
The telnet is ok ...
The ssh is not ok for root..
The new create user is ok for ssh .

Below is the error from console when ssh using root failure .....

unknown sshd[617]: Failed password for root from X.X.X. port 3234 ssh2

Please advice how to fix .....

Look at sshd_config under /etc/ssh
Change the "PermitRootLogin" to yes
Restart the service
