I had posted about an illegal user problem I was having that I couldn't log in a user that existed in my /etc/shadow /etc/passwd and my ldap database.
After nuking my pam.d directory and going to only pam_permit.so and STILL having the problem. I was able to find a little hint that perhaps ssh had a bug that would return a NULL pointer to pam. Well, this in itself wasn't the cause of the problem. However, due to chasing this error I installed a new rpm of openssh, which notified me that it had created a new sshd.conf file. This caused me to look at my existing conf file to see a usersallow line in there. And guess what I found to my horror? A list of allowed users not including the one I've spent a week trying to figure out why I couldn't log in with! added user lfs to the list and wa la.. Now to rebuild that pam.d directory!
