RE: OpenSSH 2.5.2p2, Linux, and not accepting passwords

[Roy S. Rapoport]

Thanks to the myriad of people who pointed to PAM being the culprit here.
Thanks also to the people who pointed out this was in the archives (I'll
admit I was a little confused here because of my lack of clarity as to the
role of the two lists -- ssh@clinet and the secureshell lists).  It's all
working much better now.  I shall, from now on, read the INSTALL doc
religiously.

OpenSSH 2.5.2p2, Linux, and not accepting passwords

[Roy S. Rapoport]

Well this is bizarre.

Default install of openssh on this linux box (originally RedHat
but I think someone's put a new kernel on it -- it reports itself
as 2.2.12-20 when I do uname -a.  Sorry, Solaris is my forte, not
Linux).

It all works.

Oh, except for logging in using password authentication.  It
prompts for a password, but reports incorrect password.  And,
umm, I'm pretty darn sure I type it correctly.  That's not an issue.

How the heck do I debug this?
