Hi
I've just installed OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 on a RedHat6.2 system. The compile
went without problems, but any attempt to login over the net returns
"Permission denied, Please try again". It doesn't matter if the signing
on user is root or regular, the response is the same. The same accounts
can be used to login on the machine, so the problem doesn't seem to be
there.
Message file entries:
PAM_console: getpwnam failed for h4x0r
and
sshd: cannot close PAM session: system error
This last one occurs after the failed connection closes.
When building ssh, the only things I noticed that are even remotely
sinister are:
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -I. -I. -I/usr/openssl/include

Here's the config output:

Does anyone have an idea about what's wrong here?
