Error Inventory SSH

[balbirghori4213 (BGhori)]

SSH authentication error when attempting to connect to this device

Check the credentials of existing SSH accounts, or add a new SSH account with access to myservername

I keep getting the above mentioned error on three of my debian machines. I can ssh to them just fine with putty from spiceworks server. I can ping them fine but can’t seem to get any other information out of them. When I test them after creating a new scan for that ip it comes up as successful but after the scan it doesn’t fill in any information about the servers.

spiceworks is installed on 2k8 server and i can’t seem to find known_host file as a lot of posts are recommending to delete it.

I updated spiceworks couple of days ago but it didn’t help either.

any help would be appreciated.

thx

Are there any DNS errors related to any of the devices that are not being scanned correctly? That would typically be the first place to look from my experience.
