I'm running a standard installation of RedHat 6.2 and openssh 2.2.0p1.
Everything compiled fine, client works great, but the server seems to be
unable to authenticate connecting users.  On the remote, connecting side, I
get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: 
Permission denied, please try again.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: 
Permission denied, please try again.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: 
Permission denied (publickey,password).

...although I know for a fact I'm entering the correct password.  The server
side, with debug, shows these lines as what I think are the pertinent
pieces:

debug: userauth-request for user merolen service ssh-connection method none

I'll include the full debug at the end of this email, it isn't much longer.


Has anyone else had similar problems?  when I say "standard" installations
of both, I mean they couldn't *be* more standard...  redhat installed at
defaults, and openssh config'ed and compiled/installed with defaults.  No
changes to sshd_config at all.  I get the exact same problem if I ssh
localhost, so the client that was built can't connect to the server it was
built with, either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...  I've gone through the last 4
months of the mailing list archive, but I'm at work so I keep getting pulled
off of this.

Thank you!
