Why? There are many reasons. Mainly there are specific (developmental
and research) reasons why I need specific options. I'm compiling in
developmental distributed-key algorithms into openssl, and exporting
them to ssh as one of the applications used in a testbed.
Also because I'm a throwback from the old Slackware days and I want to
specifically configure the source from the tarball. Is that too much to
ask?
Sheesh, doesn't anyone compile from source anymore?
The debian packages are not an option for my particular installations.
And so, the suggestions thus far have been of no help. If anyone has
successfully compiled from the sources on a Debian system and gotten the
sshd to authenticate passwords, please let me know. The client-side
(ssh) works perfectly, just sshd appears to be problematic.
I know when pam is involved, debian uses /etc/pam.d/ssh instead of
/etc/pam.d/sshd as in the rpm-based releases. However, I can't seem to
even get to the point where pam is invoked to authenticate the
password. Compiling without pam support yields the same result: sshd
fails to authenticate any and all passwords.
