Ssh in terminal not allowing me to type in password

Hi
I'm using ssh in the terminal to connect with my server and when it prompts me for the password, as I type in the password, the cursor doesn't show that anything is being typed, i.e. no spaces or no asterisks *** are being typed in.
I was told by my host that I should be able to log on using ssh and that it might be a problem on my end i.e. terminal or something I'm doing wrong.
Anybody know?
Thanks

Thanks, Barrett, you're right that the prompt doesn't indicate any typing and I got it to work.
Another problem I ran into was the fact that my Terminal assumed my username is the of my OS X user, so you have to be specific when trying to connect to a server on ssh using Mac OS X Terminal - be sure to type:
ssh usernameon_server@ipaddress_ofserver
and then it will work.

  • My MacBOOK Pro will not allow me to type in the password to open? up the computer, it just making a donging noise

    My MacbookPro will not allow me to type in the password to open the computer, the keys make a donging noise when I try to use them ?

    If the normal restart doesn't work, and you restart on the recovery hard drive, from the choices of things to do window that appears, select Terminal, and in the Terminal window type: resetpassword and then press enter.  You will have a window with the users to choose from to reset the password.  Select the one you want and you will be able to reset the password, double entry of course.

  • When i try to download an update the dropdown automatically inserts my apple id which is wrong. It's in gray and will not allow me to type in a correct id. How do I stop / delete the automatic insertion of the id?

    When i try to download an update from the appstore the dropdown  menju automatically inserts my apple id (which is wrong). It's in gray and will not allow me to type in the correct id. How do i stop the auto insert so that i can enter the correct id?

    the original apple id was entered incorrectly. Apple says it must be a email address.  My email address is correct but the letter ( t ) somehow got added to the (.com) so that when i try to enter my id it is automaticly loaded with the email address the ends ( .comt ) . According to Apple this is not a "legal" email id.  But it appears on my dropdown in gray and i cannot alter it or delete it, thus preventing me from downloading software updates.

  • Set type COMM_PR_UNIT is not allowed for product type

    Hello all, I am working in SRM 7.0 and when I try to replicate service master (DNL_CUST_SRVMAS) I have this error:
    Set type COMM_PR_UNIT is not allowed for product type
    What can I do? I think that is an ABAP problem
    Thanks in advance
    Rosa Rodríguez

    Rosa,
    This note is something different and nothing to do with the issue. Can you share how did you resolve the DNL_CUST_SRVMAS issue? We are also getting same error.

  • Value 'defaultNs:AddBP2Type' is not allowed for attribute 'type'

    Hi All,
    I created the wsdl for mobile and I tried to send a SOAP request from Altova XMLSpy. However when I geive the wsdl in 'wsdl file location' I receive the following.
    File http://127.0.0.1:8080/B1iXcellerator/exec/dummy/com.sap.b1i.vplatform.scenarios.setup/vPac.sap.B1Mobile/001sap0003_sap.B1Mobile.wsdl is not valid.
    Invalid XML schema: 'Value 'defaultNs:AddBP2Type' is not allowed for attribute 'type'.'
      Error location: wsdl:definitions / wsdl:types / xs:schema / xs:element / @type
    Any Idea?

    Hi,
      it seems that Altove did not cope with defaultNs prefix that is used for marking default namespace.
       just look up in your <xs:schema > tag what namespace prefix is used for your namespace - you shall find there something like this
    <xs:schema xmlns:ns0="your.namespace.com" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"
    and replace prefix defaultNs with prefix of your namespace (in example above it would be ns0)
    There might be several usages of defalutNs iside of WSDL (at least in my case were two) so replace it everywhere using same approach

  • Storage class not allowed in storage type

    Hi All,
    I am getting this error while confirming  the TO.
    It stays Storage class is not allowed in Storage type but how can  this be configured in OMM2.
    or do we need to define any sequence in OMLY.

    Hi
    Have u defined your material as Hazardous material? is so, yes, u have to do settings in OMLY.
    "Storage class: Classifies hazardous materials with regard to their storage conditions. A check can be carried out to find out whether hazardous materials that belong to a specific storage class may be placed into a particular storage type".

  • My keyboard occasionally goes crazy, not allowing me to type. Also, cursor goes crazy and opens pages and windows at will. Help!

    My typing cursor frequently goes crazy, not allowing me to type and jumping from place to place, deleting letters. Suddenly, a line I have typed will be highlighted and deleted at will.  Also, mouse cursor moves at will, opening multiple  pages in seconds. Help!  What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?
    I've had my Macbook pro for over a year and it has never done this before. Restarting the computer fixes the problem temporarily.

    My first thought was the hard drive and OS has a built in Sudden Motion Sensor whcih will stop the hard drive heads from crashing into the platters when the computer is moved suddenly. This does work most of the time and could cause some of the tings you are seeing.
    But then after reading more of your first post it seems your system and drive is doing some very strange things.
    It would be best to first take it into an Apple Genius Bar and have it looked at. They can run tests on it and since it is still in the original 1 year warranty this should not cost you anything even if something needs to be replaced.
    You can also run the Apple Hardware Test on it your self by connecting it to the Net by Ethernet cable and booting holding down the d key or the Command+d keys. That will boot the computer from the Apple internet servers and load the AHT.
    Good Luck.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • When using more than one tab, once I have opened a pdf using firefox my laptop will not allow me to type or click in another tab unless I drag the pdf into it's own window?

    when using more than one tab, once I have opened a .pdf using firefox my laptop will not allow me to type or click in another tab unless I drag the .pdf into it's own window? not a major problem just irritating.

    I found the cause but no solution, it's actually a plugin that does that: divx plus weblpayer (it gets installed when you install DivX on your system), if you disable it and restart firefox it all works again. But I want that plugin... so DivX need to fix this, unless it is a Firefox bug in its own core... anyway these two together creates the problem.
    (I'm running Firefox 9.x on OSX Lion)
    I also wish firefox tab tear out tab worked more like chrome's tab tear out, much friendlier...

  • What do I do if my key board will let me type my password yet will not allow me to type anywhere else. I've tried to hook up my wireless one as well as my one with a cord they are both doing the same thing.

    What can I do if my key board will let me type my password yet will not allow me to type anywhere else.? I've tried both my wireless and my one with a cord.

    Hi Jenny, it's not quite clear what you're seeing.
    Is this at login, then it goes to loading the desktop & such, & then is unresponsive, or what exactly?

  • The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help.

    I have a user who's Active Directory password is going to expire. I had her reset her password by going to apple > system prefs > user > and clicking change password. She received the error "The password for the account "account name" was not changed. Your system administrator may not allow you to change your password or there was some other problem with your password. Contact your system administrator for help."
    I had her change her password via the kpasswd command in terminal and that changed her password on the server sucessfully however the laptop has FileVault on it. Filevault is not recognizing the new password just the old password.
    I have deleted the keychain which didn't resolve and now I am going to decrypt and reencrypt the drive. I'm hoping this is an isolated issue I have over 25 laptops configured like this.

    I "think" the trick was unbinding and rebinding the computer account.
    After unencrypting and trying to reencrypt Filevault would still not take the new password.
    Rebooted the prompt to update the keychain appeared. Updated the keychain. Filevault would still not take the new password.
    Unbinded and rebinded the computer account. It worked and let me add the user to filevault.
