Hi everyone, just subscribed to the list and have a question about fixing a problem Im
having with OpenSSH on Linux.
Before signing up here and writing this I checked both the README, INSTALL, FAQ and
list
archives for answers, so if there is already a place where this problem is documented
Ill
gladly take a pointer to it. :)
Basic problem is this, I can connect with SSH, but it wont accept my password.
Im running Linux kernal "2.2.14-5.0 #1" from a fresh Red Hat 6.2 installation.
OpenSSH is
the second thing Im trying to install (after OpenSSL). I built it from the
"openssh-2.3.0p1.tar.gz" source I got off of openssh.com Portability link.
Configuration was done as "./configure --with-md5-passwords", and I also tried it
without
the md5 specification (though Im using it). Make was simple "make" followed by "make
install". (My system is using PAM, I did also try copying the sshd.pam into the
/etc/pam.d/ dir)
No problems reported there.
Connection (IP blotted out):
[webmaster@galaga webmaster]$ ssh -v ghowland@###.###.###.###

Any ideas on tackling this? I never saw an actual resolution to it in the mailing list
archives. Seems like most of the people encountering it just installed the binary and
then ignored it.
