Qtcreator add linux device, ssh password always rejected

[arthurd]

Hi,

I am trying to setup qt-creator for remote debugging on my beagleboard and raspberry pi.

When I try to add a "generic linux device" in "Tools -> Options -> Devices" , the connection test always results in:

Connecting to host...
SSH connection failure: Server rejected password.

From the command line, I can ssh to the device without any problem, using the same username and password. I even tried to connect to another linux desktop i.so. the raspberry pi, which gives the same result: password rejected. I also tried it at work to rule out a network issue, same problem.

In the messages file of the targets I see this report:
1970-01-01T01:36:02.570853+00:00 raspberrypi sshd[19798]: Received disconnect from 10.6.11.147: 11: [preauth]

I left the "SSH port", "Free ports", "Timeout" fields all at their default value.

Is there something I am missing?
Thanks in advance for any clues.

platform used:
Host: openSuse 12.3 64bit, QtCreator 2.7.1 based on Qt 4.8.4.
firewall disabled

Target: raspberry pi, openSuse 12.3 ARM port

I installed dropbear on the target next to the already installed openssh and now it works.

I will submit a bug report anyway, because first of all, why does it work only with dropbear, and secondly, if there is a good reason for that, it should be clearly mentioned in the GUI and/or user manual. Currently it is not mentioned in either of them.
