This is what I did:
(currently on Eduroam on campus)

<I type into Terminal>
ssh use...@linux.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca
<says I connected, then to enter my password>
****password**** (tried this multiple times so unless I mistyped it
every time...)
Permission denied.


Am I forgetting something?

It works OK for me.

bash-3.2$ ssh g...@linux.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address
'129.97.167.51' to the list of known hosts.
g...@linux.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca's password:
showpath: argument "/u0/glu/bin" is not an executable and readable
directory.

If you do have problem with your password, you can visit the MFCF help
desk at MC3017 to have your password reset.

Thanks,

I tried again and now it works. I don't know why it didn't work earlier.

I get that error all the time, no idea why. Usually if I wait for a few
minutes and then try again it works.
