A number of my computers upgraded themselves to pam_krb5-2.2.14-15, and remote logins promptly broke. If you tried to ssh in, it would ask for your password and then close the connection. The log file shows an enigmatic message (the xxxx is the username):

account checks fail for 'xxxxx': unknown reason -1765328254 (Cannot read password)

If I put back pam_krb5-2.2.14-10, it works fine.

To make it even stranger, only some of the systems that did this update have this problem.

Any ideas?
