Hi, I have installed openssl and openssh on three Redhat servers. Two servers are 6.0 and one is 6.1. I used rpms from SuSE6.4 When I do a rpm -q I get the following result. rpm -q openssh openssh-1.2.2-27 rpm -q openssl openssl-0.9.5-14 When I loaded the rpms the following message was displayed in all three cases. I loaded the rpms from a telnet session. When I loaded them locally on a RedHat 6.1 box I didn't receive this messages. I may be a red herring but I thought I had better mention it. fillup not found. This should not happen. Please compare etc/rc.config and var/adm/fillup-templates/rc.config.ssh and update by hand. The installation on the Redhat 6.1 server works but on the two 6.0 servers I can't authenticate. As far as I can tell the three servers are setup the same. Following is the message that comes up when I run sshd -d. debug: Client protocol version 1.5; client software version TTSSH/1.5.1 Win32 debug: Sent 768 bit public key and 1024 bit host key. debug: Encryption type: 3des debug: Received session key; encryption turned on. debug: Installing crc compensation attack detector. debug: Starting up PAM with username "bob" debug: Attempting authentication for bob. debug: PAM Password authentication for "bob" failed: Module is unknown Failed password for bob from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 1097 Can someone help please with a remedy. I use rpms because I am an absolute newbie and every time I have tried complying so far I have broken something. Thanks.
