Hi Robert.

Sorry for any confusion! I'll try and simplify matters and keep kerberos out of the discuss for now. The problem is related to normal password authentication and does not involve kerberos.

Basically I have an account 'yemilocal' on an OS X 10.5.x system called 'mymac'. I can ssh to yemilo...@mymac just fine when I run the default sshd on mymac (as supplied with OS X 10.5.x). However, when I run the MacPort or Fink sshd version 5.2, I am unable to login - my password is not authenticated correctly.

Here's the debug output of the sshd (invoked using '/sw/bin/sshd -d). Note that I am trying to connect using the account name yemilocal from localhost. UsePAM is disabled and KerberosAuthentication is disabled:

Hi Adeyemi,

It seems I misunderstood your original question. I'm familiar with
using ssh to login from a remote computer to a local account (and with
preventing unwanted logins of this type), it seems that's not your
goal and I'm not familiar with using Kerberos except that I know the
machine's clocks must be synchronized. Are you using verbose logging
to help debug your situation?

Hi Robert.

UsePAM is disabled. Kerberos logins work great with
KerberosAuthentication enabled but local logins do not work.

I tried enabling UsePAM and things got interesting......both kerberos
and local login attempts resulted in the motd (message of the day)
output followed by immediate disconnection. Probably best if I try and
get things working without PAM first??

Have you enabled UsePAM?

Hi There.

I am considering running a non-Apple port of OpenSSH because the
implementation of sshd that ships with OS X 10.5.x does not correctly
cache forwarded Kerberos tickets.

I started taking a look at the MacPorts and Fink port of OpenSSH
5.2p1. I had no problems installing it using MacPorts or Fink but I am
unable to login to sshd daemon using a regular, local (not kerberos
account). Has anyone had any luck with sshd? If so, could you share
your sshd_config file with me? Kerberos logins work fine with the
KerberosAuthentication option enabled but I'm having no luck with
local account password authentication.
