I manage an anonymous CVS server (its user's guide is <http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/autoconf-Java/>), using SSH, as described in:
http://kitenet.net/programs/sshcvs/ It worked in 'slink' and fails with 'potato' (because of PAM, I assume). The message I get in the server's logs is: Jun 16 10:49:09 nizan sshd[26330]: Faking authloop for illegal user anoncvs from 194.2.214.250 port 4068 (and the user receives a demand for a password, even when it has the key.) According to the SSH sources, the only case where you can have it is when the very user is denied access. The user is: anoncvs:VXz2/bC98RZNs:500:500:Anonymous CVS:/home/anoncvs:/bin/ash and has a valid shell. The PAM configuration is the standard one: auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_unix.so auth required pam_env.so # [1] account required pam_unix.so session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_lastlog.so # [1] session optional pam_motd.so # [1] session optional pam_mail.so standard # [1] password required pam_unix.so Any idea?
