[SLUG] sshd issues

2005-04-09 Thread Rob Sharp
Hi Sluggers, I'm having a problem with my server where I can't connect to it over ssh. I can establish a connection, but when I enter a username, it throws me out. I've tried both with root and regular users, but to no avail. I can log in using a tty so I think PAM is okay. I've set the logging
