Newbie here - I'm trying connect to my PIX from the inside with a ssh connection (via PuTTY). The PIX asks for a username and takes it. Then asks for a password which it doesn't.<br />
<br />
I have input the following via the CLI<br />
<br />
ssh 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 inside<br />
ssh timeout 5<br />
username xxx password xxx privilege 15<br />
username yyy password yyy<br />
<br />
Naturally I have double and triple checked that I'm typing the correct password. I have tried both usernames xxx and yyy (changed of course).<br />
<br />
TIA

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
