openssh configuration, sshd {Scanned}

Hey gang, I'm configuring openssh downloaded from macports. Had to change port from 2222 in /opt/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config to 22 to get a login prompt. Now login won't accept my password? I'm using the same one as I use on mac.....is their some more configuration neccasary? Tried a bunch of different auth settingings in sshd_config.....no joy. hgh. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
