There appears to be a problem with Panther passwords and the version of sshd distributed through fink.
I had replaced the sshd version that is installed with panther (OpenSSH_3.6.1p1+CAN-2003-0693) with the version distributed through fink (OpenSSH_3.6.1p1). By using a softlink (usr/sbin/sshd -> /sw/sbin/sshd) I can generally get patched versions of ssh/sshd sooner through fink than through Apple. Long story short, when I upgraded my password, after installing panther (passwd), I could no longer log-in (password invalid). After double checking, to make sure that I was typing the proper password (and even changing the password), I enabled root logon (dangerous, but required for diagnostics). root's password was not upgraded - and I could successfully log on using the fink built sshd. Running against the Apple provided sshd, I could log on with both accounts - no problems. I attempted to recompile openssh under panther, but this did not help.
I'm not sure if this is a widely known problem - or even if is confined to just my machine) - but thought that I'd share.
