Okay, based on your tutorials, I got myself a working machine that
uses working blowfish passwords, without Linux-PAM installed.
Tested with the following combinations gcc-3.4.6, gcc-4.1.2,
gcc-4.2.0, uclibc-0.9.28.3, uclibc-0.9.29, and 3 different versions of
openssh (4.4p2, 4.5p1, 4.6p1). (I hoped to rule out both the libc, the
compiler, and openssh)
I cannot get openssh to allow me to login to a system, no matter how hard I try.
I can still log in using keys (ssh-keygen -d ; cp -v
~/.ssh/{id_dsa.pub,authorized_keys}), bypassing the blowfish password
check.
I removed the symlinks from libcrypt.so to libxcrypt.so and the
include/crypt.h symlink to xcrypt.h. I then reinstalled the openssh
and changed my shadow file password to an MD5. Once this was done,
everything worked.
I believe I had problems even when the password was MD5, while under
the xcrypt libraries.
You say that the openssh should work?
I believe that openssh needs to be patched to get blowfish password
support working properly.
Any Ideas/Help?
