Hi all I have openssh 3.4p1-2 and libpam-module 0.75-1. For some reason my sshd never accepts external connections... The auth.log file shows my pam_limits.so file has an error in dl_open
I checked my /lib/security direcory and I have all the needed pam lib files including pam_limits.so. Am i doing something wrong? Please help me fix this problem. Is there a way I can byepass PAM for ssh? Do i need to install LDAP or something to get this working? I am attaching my log here. Why wouldn't the default sshd config allow for incomoning ssh access? I sincerely appreciate any help Thanx Mukund ct 2 19:57:11 msudarsa-linux sshd[3521]: WARNING: /etc/ssh/moduli does not exist, using old modulus Oct 2 19:57:11 msudarsa-linux sshd[3521]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_limits.so) Oct 2 19:57:11 msudarsa-linux sshd[3521]: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_limits.so: undefined symbol: cap_init] Oct 2 19:57:11 msudarsa-linux sshd[3521]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_limits.so Oct 2 19:57:18 msudarsa-linux sshd[3521]: Accepted password for msudarsa from 10.34.13.82 port 33195 ssh2 Oct 2 19:57:18 msudarsa-linux ssh(pam_unix)[3523]: session opened for user msudarsa by (uid=1000) Oct 2 19:57:18 msudarsa-linux sshd[3523]: fatal: PAM session setup failed[28]: Module is unknown Oct 2 19:59:48 msudarsa-linux su[3524]: + pts/1 msudarsa-root Oct 2 19:59:48 msudarsa-linux su(pam_unix)[3524]: session opened for user root by (uid=1000) Oct 2 20:00:38 msudarsa-linux sshd[351]: Received SIGHUP; restarting.
