Looks fine to me. I think OpenSSH uses /etc/pam.d/sshd (Note the "d" in the end). Try renaming your pam config file. > At this time, I can connect using a DSA Key, but I would also like to > connect using password... SSH public key authentication is not handled by pam, sshd does that itself. MfG, Carsten Nottebohm
