I installed SSH server and client using the commands in Ubuntu 13.10

sudo apt-get install ssh

But then I am able to connect using my client to any other ssh server on the network by

ssh username@hostname

But when I try connecting ssh-client on my laptop to itself. It says permission denied, Please try again.

$ : ssh [email protected]

[email protected]'s password: 

Permission denied, please try again.

Can someone help me with this.

In your /etc/ssh/sshd_config

This cloud be cause by various reasons (misconfiguration or permissions), the best way is to start both sshd and ssh client in verbose mode.

For example:

Stop sshd and then run sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -Dd

Connect => ssh user@host -vvv

Look at the debug output and it'll point you to the root cause, most likely.
