[SOLVED] ssh access to centos server from arch machine

I have ssh access to a colleague's centos server for work, and for some reason I cannot log in from my Arch linux box (permission denied when I type in my password). When I tried logging in from my wife's mac everything worked fine. I have no good theories about why this might be the case (I don't really know anything about network protocols anyway). Can anyone think of common reasons that this might happen?

Thanks!

Can you ssh into other servers from your arch machine? Do you use the login when connecting (ssh user@server or ssh server)?

I'm not sure about other servers, I haven't tried anything else.

I use user@server

Make sure you use ssh user@server otherwise it will try to login with the user you are using at the moment, which may not be the same username in the server and it will fail to work.

That's what I was going for smile

@keither: Try logging into another server first.
Does the error only say permission denied or is there something else?

Oh, holy crap. I feel dumb.

The person who sent my my user name made a type-o, and I accidentally typed it correctly on my mac and not on my linux machine. I didn't notice before. Nevermind.
