For the short term, I've remove coreutils in favor of fileutils (to be honest, the only reason I wanted it was for a colorized ls command -- call me easily amused ;-) and I rarely enable the ssh daemon except when I know that I'll specifically need it... I tend to use the Fink one because it's updated more often than Apple's, but I can work around it for now.
Thanks to all for their suggestions. I may take a crack at compiling PAM support into OpenSSH this weekend and see if that takes care of the problem. I'd still be interested in hearing of other packages that may suffer from this problem, as we're going to have to get them fixed eventually!

After installing coreutils, the fink version of su fails, apparently because it isn't properly getting account info from Panther. OpenSSH seems to also have this problem, as when I run the fink ssh daemon, I am unable to login remotely because all account/password combinations are rejected.
Any one else have similar problems with Panther or have thoughts on how
to correct this? If it matters, I did a clean install of Panther (all
Jaguar stuff removed first).

(compiled from UW source) that was working in Jaguar to Panther, and it
didn't work in Panther. A re-compile with PAM support fixed the problem.
This is speculation based upon what I saw from above, but my guess is:...
In Jaguar, I believe that standard libc routines would look up login
names/passwords without the code calling them knowing anything about PAM
or netinfo. In Panther, these routines don't go to the netinfo database
to look up the information, so you need PAM support in the application.
It may be possible to add accounts to /etc/passwd to get around this problem, but I haven't tried that. I wouldn't know how to give them a usable encrypted password anyway.
