have found out an interesting thing. The issue is related to the
length of the password, the previous two old wrong password had length
of 8 chars. I tried to add to both other 6 chars at their end and
they both now work fine. I didn't look for the minimum length working
fine, but it's sure that a length of 14 chars is OK.
Derrick Brasher instead is ok with his 8 chars password. I have given
my old wrong password not working to Derrick and Jeffrey and and I
think they're investigating about this issue.
Currently I decided to adopt a password 14 chars.
Thanks again
Enzo

Hello Derrick,
I had already tried with an xterm and the result was the same.
Now instead I have tried klog with an other account ( and of course
a different password ) and it works. So the problem seemed related
to the password, then I changed the password, but the problem
persisted. Then I changed again the password and I adopted the same
belonging to the user tested before successfully and now klog works
fine.
The problem seems related to some characters used in the password.
How to overcome this issue?
Moreover I can't understand why if I performed a ssh with the old
password all worked fine, instead with klog not.
Thanks again Derrick for your valuable help

It's not going to be software conflicts.
It's either going to be that the string to key function fails in some
(but not all, obviously) cases or
an input failure. In fact, hm. Can you (install X11 if necessary,
then) try klog in an xterm, assuming you used Terminal before? It
does
work in both Terminal and xterm for me, but Terminal could
conceivably
do something odd with character set encoding, whereas xterm is rather
unlikely to.
Beyond that, my next suggestion is to be able to share with me a
password that fails (not necessarily your current password) and if
that
fails, tell me who your administrator is so I can ask about a
temporary account.
